- Hello! Should I use article "the" in "Simple is the best"?
Should I use this phrase with the article or without it? "Simple is the best" or "Simple is best"?
Best answer
Yes, you should always use the article "the" when talking about the superlative form of any adjective, i.e. the best, the highest, the worst, the youngest, etc. However, you may hear some people leave out the article. Grammatically it would be incorrect, but it is becoming more common in actual usage.

I heard this phrase but I'm not sure if it's correct. Can I use it in the meaning of wishing someone all kind?

Yes you can use it to show the listener that you have no bad wishes for them. I wish you nothing but the best.

(I wish whatever happens to you is not the best/ I wish bad things happen to you)
