La palabra de hoy es: 'peor' = worse/ the worst.
In Spanish, 'peor' can be used to indicate either the inferior item in comparisons (worse) or to indicate a superlative (the worst). Only when used to indicate a superlative can 'peor' take different forms: 'el/ la/ lo peor', 'los/ las peores'. Whereas 'el/ la peor', 'los/ las peores' can be used as adjectives, 'lo peor' is used always on its own, it does not change and is used to indicate something which is 'as bad as it can get'/ 'worst of all'.
