Root Explanation

Chirpier → It is formed from "chirp" (from Middle English "chirpen", meaning to make a short, sharp sound) and "-ier" (a suffix used to form comparative adjectives). The word "chirpier" means more chirpy or more inclined to make cheerful, lively sounds, often associated with birds.

Memory Tip

Think of the sound of birds 'chirping' — when something is 'chirpier', it means it makes more cheerful sounds, just like a happy bird.
