Chapter 3: Grammar
To compare and contrast things from other things such as two nouns, you will need to employ the use of the comparatives. Below are some examples of the comparatives and how to use them.
To parl pli ke mò You talk more than me
Li manj mwin ke li He eats less than her
As, shown in the examples, if you are comparing and contrasting two nouns through a verb, you must place the comparative behind the verb and the before the noun which it is contrasting and comparing. If you are comparing and contrasting two nouns through an adjective, you must place the first part of the comparative before the adjective and the second part after the adjective.
To lir osi vit ke mwin You read as fast as me
