When used before an adjective, the Creole word pi can mean more or express the English ending -er.

You can use this word to show that something is better or worse.

You can also use it to show that something is bigger, smaller, taller, shorter, and so on.

In this lesson, you will find out how to do this correctly.


How to Say Something Is Better or Worse

Say pi before an adjective to show that something is better, worse, or has more of a certain quality.

Suppose that you wanted to say that something is more good, or simply better, in Creole.

The Creole translation of that would be pi bon.



Consider These Examples


1. Li pi bèl → It is more beautiful

2. Li pi lèd → It is uglier

3. Yo pi saj → They are wiser


How to Say Something Is Bigger or Smaller

Also say pi before an adjective to compare things by size, height, length, and similar qualities.

Suppose you wanted to say that something is greater or bigger in Creole.

Depending on the context, you can say pi gran.



Consider These Examples


1. Yo pi gwo → They are bigger

2.  Mwen pi piti → I am smaller

3. Nou pi kout → We are shorter
