Q: Does 'Best' mean 'Best Wishes' or 'Best Regards'? What does the writer want to say by using "Best' ? Which one does 'Best' mean among the five? Or does it have another meaning?
1. I want you to have best thing.
2. You are my best friend.
3. I want you to get best things.
4. Do your best.
5. Let's try our best
Best usually means # 3.
The word 'Best' at the end of a letter or email is a shortened version of either 'Best wishes' or 'Best regards.' It is often used as a polite and friendly way to end a message. The writer wants to convey their well wishes or good regards to the recipient.
Out of the five options you provided, 'Best' would most closely align with option number 1 - "I want you to have the best thing." It expresses the sentiment of wanting the recipient to have the best outcome or experience.
However, it is important to note that the meaning of 'Best' at the end of a letter or email is more general and doesn't convey a specific meaning like the options you provided. It is simply a short and friendly way to close the message.
