The article changes with the case; it is shown in colour.
'Das Allerletzte' consists of 'aller-' and 'letzte'. 'Aller-' intensifies the superlative; as a nominalized adjective, the entire expression takes the article 'das' and is capitalized.
Seine Behandlung der Gäste war das Allerletzte.
The way he treated the guests was the absolute worst.
The expression often follows 'sein' (to be) and directly evaluates an action, situation, or person. Typical patterns include 'Das war das Allerletzte' (That was the absolute worst) and 'Du bist das Allerletzte' (You are the absolute worst).
Dass er die Abmachung einfach gebrochen hat, war das Allerletzte.
The fact that he simply broke the agreement was the absolute worst.
Nach dieser gemeinen Bemerkung dachte sie: „Du bist das Allerletzte.“
After that nasty remark, she thought: 'You are the absolute worst.'
'Das Allerletzte' is a very harsh, emotionally charged evaluation and can come across as a strong insult. The expression is therefore especially suited to indignant reactions and less suited to factual descriptions.
Dieser Kundenservice ist ja wohl das Allerletzte!
