he most common way to form a superlative (best, worst, thinnest, fattest etc.) in Chinese is to use 最 (zuì).
Basic Form
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。
Optional 了
Occasionally you'll also see a 了 added after the adjective. This just adds emphasis to the "-est."
最 + Adjective + 了
Some examples of that:
- 他 最 聪明 了。
- 你 最 好 了。
- 我 最 漂亮 了。
