As an adjective, it means "aloufa" which is greedy, If it relates to eating food, then we talk about "saf" which is gluttonous, swinish, ventripotent, pig as in eating like a pig." Example: S-ak fe ou gen gwo je konsa? How come you are so greedy? However, if we are eating, we will say: Jennonm sa-a saf anpil - this young man is very gluttonous.
