So, I assume that to really communicate that something is the "most ____", as in more ______ than anything else, one must inflect the phrase with great emphasis. Is that true? Is "pi mal" worse, but "PI! mal" with force is the worst?
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeletePi mal la - the worst
Pi move a - the baddest
Pi bèl la - the most beautiful
Example:
Li pi bèl pase sè li a. - She is prettier than her sister.
and
Se li ki pi bèl la. - She is the most beautiful.
