The most common way to form a superlative (best, worst, thinnest, fattest etc.) in Chinese is to use 最 (zuì). The structure is:
最 + Adjective
And now you have the superlative form of the adjective. Unlike in English, this structure is consistent for all adjectives in Chinese.
Some examples:
- 他 最 聪明。
- 你 最 胖。
- 我 最 矮。
