frühsten

Frühsten is a German adverb and adjective derived from the word "früh," meaning "early." As an adverb, it signifies the earliest point in time, often used to express that something occurred at the very beginning of a period or event. For example, "Er war der frühsten da" translates to "He was the earliest there." It can also be used to indicate a preference for an early start, such as "Ich mag es, frühsten aufzustehen," meaning "I like to get up as early as possible."

As an adjective, "frühsten" describes something that belongs to the earliest period or is the most original. For instance, "Die frühsten Aufzeichnungen" refers to "the earliest records." This usage often appears in historical contexts or when discussing the origins of something. The superlative form of "früh," "frühsten" emphasizes the extreme earliness in time or order. It is important to note that "frühsten" is the dative masculine/neuter or accusative masculine singular form of the superlative adjective "frühste." While less common in everyday speech, it appears in more formal or specific grammatical constructions.
