The structure is: zuì + Adjective. And now you have the superlative form of the adjective. Unlike in English, this structure is consistent for all adjectives in Chinese. The inconsistencies in English sometimes confuse beginners, so note in the examples below how to say "best," "worst," "least," and "most" (meaning "greatest number").

Examples:

  1. 哪 个 老师  最 好?
    Nǎge lǎoshī zuì hǎo 
    Which teacher is the best?

  2. 你们 家 谁  最 漂亮?
    Nǐmen jiā shéi zuì piàoliang 
    In your family who is the most beautiful?

  3. 谁  最  有钱 ?
    Shéi zuì yǒuqián 
    Who is the richest?

  4. 汉语  最 难 。
    Hànyǔ zuì nán 
    The Chinese language is the most difficult.
