## Definition

more unusual, wild, or silly than something else. You use this to compare two things that are very strange or exciting.

For teachers: the comparative form of 'crazy'; describes a higher degree of mental instability, eccentricity, or intensity. Often used to compare situations or ideas that are increasingly improbable or chaotic.

## Examples

- This new plan is even crazier than the last one.
- After the first storm, we thought things were bad, but the second week brought even crazier weather.
- The plot of the sequel is significantly crazier than the original, abandoning all pretense of realism in favor of high-octane action and surrealist humor.

## Pitfalls

- Not "more crazier" but "crazier" — Learners often use 'more' with comparative adjectives that already have the '-er' ending, which is redundant.

## Usage notes

- Comparative form of the adjective 'crazy'. Follows the standard rule of changing 'y' to 'i' before adding the suffix '-er'.
