You don't change the adjective - you just add pi
good - bon
better - pi bon (more good)
big - gwo
bigger - pi gwo (more big)
```
If you want to say best, biggest, etc add pase tout (translated as than all)
pi bon pase tout - best (more better than all)
pi gwo pase tout - biggest (more big than all)
pase can also be used to make more specific comparisions
Ex: His job is better than our job - Travay li pi bon pase travay nou
