Did you hear that new toy? It's even squeakier than the last one.

Yeah, I noticed! It's quite annoying, actually.

Root Explanation

Squeakier → It is formed from "squeak" (of imitative origin, representing a short, high-pitched sound) and the suffix "-ier" (meaning more). The word "squeakier" means producing a higher-pitched sound more than something else that squeaks.

Memory Tip

Think of the sound that something makes when it 'squeaks' — and the '-ier' just means it makes that sound 'more'. So, 'squeakier' describes something that squeaks more than another.
