It depends on the context. It is often used to tell someone all the unpleasant or boring details about something. But is also used when you ask for extra money or time from someone. ex: Can you spare me a minute? "Can you spare a dollar or two?"

- 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.
Best answer
"It's an honor"/"It's my pleasure"... is the right way to use.
- "... in my thoughts" or "... on my thoughts"?
Hello! Don't know which option is a correct one. Should I use "in my thoughts" or "on my thought"? Or I can use both ones?
Best answer
In my thoughts or On my mind. I will keep you in my thoughts. You are on my mind.
- Is it correct to say "I wish you nothing but the best"?
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?
Best answer
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 you only the best) In a different set up where maybe you are angry with a person and you want to hut their feelings you can say: I wish you anything but the best. (I wish whatever happens to you is not the best/ I wish bad things happen to you)

- Are these phrases the same "What do you mean by that?" and "What is meant by that?"
Best answer
Hi Oliver, One is personal and the other is general "What do you mean by that?" You are asking someone to explain more clearly what they have just said as you do not understand them 100% e.g. "This is even worse than the time we tried it 3 years ago" "What is meant by that?" Is when you are asking whoever is around you what you heard/saw/read and you do not understand completely, often because it is an idiom or a metaphor. e.g. "The Minister said that the company was trying their best, but they were just rearraning the deckchairs on The Titanic" (No matter what they did the final result would still be very negative)
