FAYV-uh-rit/ˈfeɪvərɪt/

Of all the choices, this is the one you like most: my favourite colour, her favourite food. Favourite sits before the noun. British spelling keeps the u; American spelling drops it (favorite). Best is close but can also mean “number one in a test.”

Meaning

Liked more than the others.

Examples

• “Blue is my favourite colour.”
• “Pizza is his favourite meal.”
• “Who is your favourite singer?”

Good to know

my favourite + noun. British: favourite (with u).
