comparative and superlative

Now to use this concept in Toki Pona, you have to split your idea up into two separate sentences. Here's how you'd say "Lisa is better than Susan.":

jan Lisa li pona mute. ...   Lisa is very good. ...
... jan Susan li pona lili.   ... Susan is a little good.
   

Make sense? You say that one thing is very much of something, while you use another object as the basis for comparison and say that it's only a little bit of something.

mi suli mute. sina suli lili.   I'm bigger than you.
mi moku mute. sina moku lili.   I eat more than you.
