Good looking one word or two

Hi!

I took a look at goodlooking in the dictionary and in the forum entries, but I didn’t find what I was looking for.

Here’s the question that just came to my mind: what’s the superlative of goodlooking (or any other adjective with the word good-)? Most goodlooking, or does «good-» becomes «best-«, thus forming bestlooking?

    I understand that this might be a curious intellectual problem.

    In the real world, when would you ever want to use such a term?
    If you post an example sentence, I am sure there are natural-sounding alternatives that avoid the problem.

    I agree with panjandrum’s stance.

    In the absence of an example sentence, I would reply, «Sophia Loren, of course!»

    I think both «most good-looking» and «best-looking» are ok, though I would personally say the first.

    In the real world, when would you ever want to use such a term?

    As WRF’s best-looking orangutang, surely you would see huge scope for such usage?

    • #6

    That is the best-looking dog I’ve ever seen! We would NEVER say «most good-looking.»

    It would be hyphenated because «best-looking» is an adjective describing the dog.

    Even good-looking should be hyphenated if it is used as an adjective.

    The only time I can think of goodlooking as a noun is in an expression you might say to someone such as:
    «Hey goodlooking, what’cha got cooking?»
    I’m still not sure goodlooking wouldn’t be two words.

    • #7

    Both good looking and best looking are two words. They have gotten along nicely without hyphenation for centuries, so let’s not impose that on them, now. In certain situations, either one might be appropriate.

    HOWEVER, we have a request for an example sentence, so let’s all please wait for ElFrikiChino to reply, before we offer suggestions on which would be best for him.

    My first thought was was the same as sramaestra’s: the best-looking dog. But I’m envious of Loob’s answer: she’s not going to have to stay after school. :)

    I don’t really have an example. It’s just something I had been thinking about, then for some time I completely forgot, and suddenly today it popped up again.
    I guess something like «that was the best looking person I’ve ever seen». But maybe one would simply say: the most beautiful woman/handsome man.
    Anyway, it was just out of curiosity. I mean: if there is the adjective «good looking», it probably comes with its superlative form as well. But if you natives say nobody would use such a term, just forget it, it’s good to know it is not used :) But still, the curiosity remains :)

    I agree with panjandrum’s stance.

    In the absence of an example sentence, I would reply, «Sophia Loren, of course!»

    No offence intended to Sophia Loren, but she uderwent too many cosmetic surgeries. When she was younger she was very beatiful, now she looks a bit fake :p

    In general, such compound adjectives can go either way. ‘Well-known’ can become ‘best-known’ or ‘most well-known’; ‘high-profile’ can become ‘highest-profile’ or ‘most high-profile’. Both forms are very common. That doesn’t mean you can always do both equally naturally – I for one find *’most high-quality’ sounds wrong. I can see no good reason why ‘best-looking’ sounds more natural than ‘most good-looking’, but I do find it somewhat preferable.

    I don’t particularly object to «best-looking.» But, hey, I’ll take any compliment.

    I definitely think there’s a place for best-looking (the best-looking pizza I’ve ever seen)… and maybe even for most good-looking (although I would have to think about that).

    It is used, ElFrikiChino, and very often!

    Sadly, not often about me….

    • #14

    If you were talking about a group of people then you would more likely use ‘most good-looking’. For instance, ‘he’s the most good-looking out of the lot’ not necessarily the best in the world ever but certainly more good-looking than the others in the group.

    Alternatively … if you were talking about a group of people then you might well use «best-looking».

    See etb’s post above:)

    Of course, here in California… we’d simply say, «super good-looking» or even «awesome-looking.»

    Not something I’d employ in a business meeting though. ;)

    • #18

    I would use best-looking over most good-looking all the time.

    Is good looking hyphenated will be the question we’re asking today. It’s good to learn about hyphenation rules, and when you learn one, you typically learn all the others. So, do we use good looking or good-looking?

    When we discuss the good looking hyphen rule, we discover whether we use good-looking or good looking. You should use good-looking with the hyphen when you want to use it as an adjective to modify a noun or object in the sentence. You should use good looking without the hyphen when using it as a noun at the end of a clause or sentence.

    Examples Of When To Use “Good Looking”

    Let’s start by looking into using good looking without the hyphen first. It’s good to learn about the noun form of the word because many people just assume that “good looking” is always hyphenated. However, if we follow the AP stylebook rules, we learn that we shouldn’t always hyphenate it. In these cases, we’re using “good looking” as a noun without modifying anything else in the sentence.

    • He is really good looking.
    • My dog is good looking.
    • That girl is so good looking.
    • You are good looking.
    • My son is good looking.

    As a side note, the English language has evolved. Even though it’s grammatically correct to say “good looking” without a hyphen, it’s now being phased out. Many people say “good-looking” no matter what.

    Examples Of When To Use “Good-Looking”

    Good looking vs good-looking sets up a nice debate for the hyphenated usage. Many people opt to use the hyphenated form as both an adjective and a noun. However, if we’re following English rules exactly, then using the hyphenated version should be reserved for modifying a noun or object in a sentence. Here are some examples to demonstrate that.

    • He is a good-looking man.
    • That’s a really good-looking cake.
    • I can’t get over that good-looking castle.
    • You’re a good-looking girl.
    • We’re a good-looking family.

    Is Good Looking Hyphenated AP Style?

    AP style teaches us that hyphens are “joiners” between two or more closely linked words. This means that when we add them between words, we turn them into an adjective to help the reader understand what they’re seeing. It helps them to see how nouns and objects or modified. The stylebook also says we leave words unhyphenated when we want to use them as a standalone phrase noun.

    Should I Capitalize “Looking” In The Word “Good-Looking”?

    What happens with capitalization in titles, then? When we write titles, there are three potential styles we can choose from. Everyone has a different style, and we’ll cover them all here. Based on which style you use, you’ll see how to capitalize the words in “good-looking.” The first style is where we capitalize only the first word and proper nouns. “Good-looking” is left lower-case in this style.

    The second style is where we capitalize most words. We leave short prepositions, conjunctions, and articles lower-case, though. In this case, you’ll always capitalize “good” and never capitalize “looking.” The final style is where we capitalize every word in the title no matter what. That means both words in “good-looking” are treated as two separate words, and we capitalize them both to follow the style.

    Alternatives To “Good Looking”

    If you’re struggling with the hyphen rule still, don’t worry. We’ve got the perfect alternatives for you that don’t even have hyphens. You can use these if you want to convey your meaning still but don’t want to risk getting the hyphen rules wrong.

    • Beautiful
    • Pretty
    • Gorgeous
    • Attractive

    Quiz – Good Looking Or Good-Looking?

    Let’s finish with a quiz to see what you’ve learned from this article. Even though “good-looking” is an acceptable word for both noun and adjective form, we want you to follow the rules in the AP stylebook with these answers. Pay attention to the sentence structure before answering, and check your answers at the end to see how you did.

    2. My mom says I’m (A. good looking / B. good-looking).

    The reason one says good-looking is because someone looks good.

    This is just the same reason why it’s nice-sounding for sounding nice, sweet-smelling for smelling sweet, good-tasting for tasting good, bird-watching for watching birds, acid-producing for producing acid, bear-baiting for baiting bears, or even a claim-jumper for someone who jumps claims and a skyscraper for a tall building that scrapes the skies.

    In all cases, the predicate complement, which normally follows the finite verb, becomes here the hyphenated prefix falling before the -ing word when the verbal phrase gets used adjectivally. Normally these complements are direct objects (and thus substantives) of transitive verbs, but for the sense verb, they are adjectives.

    The Romance languages do not form compound words using this sort of inversion of verb and object. So where English has skyscraper, Spanish has rascacielos, Portuguese has arranha-céu, French has gratte-ciel, Italian has grattacielo, and Catalan has gratacel or tocanúvols. Here the complement follows the verb, whereas in English, it precedes it.

    Both are correct and natural but the second sentence should be written as «Attractive and good-looking have similiar meanings.»

    The ‘s’ is added because attractive and good looking are two words so you would have at least two meanings overall even though they may be similiar. If you intended to say that they have the same meaning or one meaning then of course you would say «Attractive and good-looking have the same meaning.»

    With hurried deference, Luise Ivanovna fell to curtsying in all directions, and so curtsied herself to the door. But at the door, she stumbled backwards against a good-looking officer with a fresh, open face and splendid thick fair whiskers.

    Луиза Ивановна с уторопленною любезностью пустилась приседать на все стороны и, приседая, допятилась до дверей; но в дверях наскочила задом на одного видного офицера, с открытым свежим лицом и с превосходными густейшими белокурыми бакенами.

    And uttering these words, Bambaev turned to a good-looking young man standing near him with a fresh and rosy, but prematurely demure face.

    И, сказав эти слова, Бамбаев обратился к стоявшему возле него красивому молодому человеку с свежим и розовым, но уже серьезным лицом.

    He seemed more like a college football coach: good-looking, tanned, athletic, and enthusiastic.

    Он походил скорее на футбольного тренера из колледжа: симпатичный, загорелый, атлетически сложенный, полный энтузиазма.

    Это тоже была фотография, несравненно меньшего размера, в тоненьком, овальном, деревянном ободочке — лицо девушки, худое и чахоточное и, при всем том, прекрасное; задумчивое и в то же время до странности лишенное мысли.
