Note
The comparison is built with the suffix, not with more, as two-syllable adjectives ending in -y usually are, and the y turns to i before it. The form grades every sense of lazy, not only the reluctant worker: a lazier afternoon is more leisurely, a lazier piece of work shows less care, and a lazier current moves more sluggishly.
