Sufficient conditions are provided for establishing equivalence between best approximation error and projection/interpolation error in finite-dimensional vector spaces for general (semi)norms. The results are applied to several standard finite element spaces, modes of interpolation and (semi)norms, and a numerical study of the dependence on polynomial degree of constants appearing in our estimates is provided.
