This week, we'll be going through Joel's Yard to learn over 50 new adjectives.

Remember that Joel's Y yard is sorted into several

different areas based on how the adjectives are used. In this episode, we'll be learning just a few

new adjectives in the first three areas of the yard. To begin with, the first thing that we

encounter in Joel's yard is the blue car on his

front driveway. This is where we store comparative adjectives, such as more, less, better,

worse, bigger, and smaller. In English, these words tend to end with the letters ER, but in Spanish, it's more common

that they end in either S or OR. For example, let's just use the word luce, meaning light,

and apply any of these adjectives to it. More light is mass-lose. Less light is

minus-lose, better light is mejor-lose, and greater light, or bigger light, is

major-lose. We store the word mejor inside Joel's car where he hordes his tea bags.

The opposite of mejor is peor.

The tea bags in Joel's hoard have tiny tags that look like oars.

Although Joel loves his hoard of tea, he thinks that these tiny tags are the worst part of the deal.

Whenever he can, he cuts off these tags and they end up falling out of the cracks of the door of his blue car.

So think of the stressed syllable or, but remember that it's related to paying, which for Joel is the worst part of the deal.

So the word for worst or worse is peor.

For example, worse light would be peor-luse.
