‘more sweeter’ is redundant. ‘sweeter’ means more sweet. therefore, you can either say ‘more sweet’ or ‘sweeter.’

sweet, sweeter, sweetest– This pie is sweet. This pie is sweeter than that one. This is the sweetest pie of the three.
If it is really, really sweet you might say ” It is sweeter than the sweetest thing I have ever tasted before!”
good, better, best – never let it rest – until the good is better and better is best.

NO NO NO. more sweeter, more better, most funniest. None of these are proper. Say “this pie is sweeter.” The suffix -er means somethind that does or provides. it makes you sound more stupider when you say it that way and it’s unnecessary.

No just say “this pie is sweeter than the other one.” You don’t need both. It’s kinda like having double negatives; there really is no point.

This pie is sweeter than the other one
This pie is more sweet than the other one.
More and sweeter used together are grammatically incorrect.

You either use a form with it being
Original word, orignal word + er, original word + est
OR
Orignial word, more (original word), most (original word)
For this example it would be,
sweet, sweeter, sweetest
You could add “Even” before an er word to say it’s better than another.
“That’s even sweeter than the last one!”

sweeter is sufficient! it suggests a comparison and the assumption is that they are both sweet.
‘er’ says more, you don’t need to use the word

It’s either more sweet or sweeter. But you don’t use more with sweeter.

You can simply say sweeter.
