Bestmöglichsten

"Bestmöglichsten" is a German superlative adjective. It is the dative masculine singular form of the superlative adjective "bestmöglich". The root word is "gut" (good), which has the comparative "besser" (better) and the superlative "best-" or "bestens". The word "möglich" means "possible". Therefore, "bestmöglich" translates to "as good as possible" or "the best possible". The addition of the "-sten" ending indicates the superlative form, signifying the highest degree of possibility. The specific ending "-en" is a dative masculine singular declension, meaning it would be used when describing a masculine noun in the dative case. For example, "mit dem bestmöglichsten Ergebnis" translates to "with the best possible result." While grammatically correct, the phrase "bestmöglichsten" is often considered somewhat redundant or overly emphatic in modern German, as "bestmöglich" itself already conveys the intended meaning. Simpler and more common alternatives include "bestens" or simply using "bestmöglich" without the extra dative ending in many contexts. However, it can still be encountered in formal or slightly older German usage.
