Closest Meaning in English

word

/ˈkɫoʊsəst/
KLOH-sist
/klˈəʊsəst/
KLOH-sist

释义

The superlative form of 'close', meaning at the shortest distance in space, time, or similarity. It can also describe the strongest personal relationship among a group.

用法与细微差别

Usually used with 'the': 'the closest shop', 'the closest answer'. For people, 'my closest friend' means the friend I feel most connected to, not the one who lives nearest. Don't confuse it with 'nearby', which is not a superlative.
