VerbsUnlike English, Kriol verbs are seldom inflected to show tense,person or number. In Kriol, these are shown by context, auxilaryverbs and tense markers. Generally speaking, tenses are formed bypreceding the root verb word with the markers di, mi, mi-di, wahn, asshown below for the root verb ‘to play’:Ah play evri day.‘I play every day.’[Present tense]Ah di play rait now. ‘I am playing right now.’[Present progressive tense]Ah mi play yestudeh. ‘I played yesterday.’[Past tense]Ah mi-di play di hoal day. ‘I was playing all day.’[Past progressive tense]Ah wahn play tumaaro. ‘I will play tomorrow.’[Future tense]Kriol action verbs are often followed by a directional word,such as op, dong, een, owt, bak, aan, aaf, rong and weh. Some ofthese combinations have been listed in the dictionary as sub-entriesunder the root word.AdjectivesThe most common way that a comparative adjective is formedis with the addition of –er in English, and –a in Kriol; and thesuperlative is formed with the addition of –est in English, and –is inKriol, as in the following example:big, biga, bigisbig, bigger, biggestGenerally these forms are not listed in the dictionary, unlessthey do not follow the regular pattern, as in the following examples:gud, guda/beta, gudis/bes good, better, bestwos/wosa, wosara, wosis worse, worse(intensified), worstAdverbsAdverbs function in Kriol much the same as they do in English,as modifiers of verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. In English, someadverbs are formed by adding ly to an adjective. In Kriol li is added17
to some words, as in haadli [hardly], but often the li is not added asin the following example:Ah mi waahn kohn hoahn bad. [I wanted to come home badly.]ReduplicationA favourite means of emphazing or intensifying an adjective oradverb in Kriol (but not allowed in English) is by reduplication, as inthe following example:Wi reech deh kwik kwik. [We reached there very quickly.]18
