Primitive can mean “very basic.” It could mean lack of intelligence or detail. Or early stages of something such as a species, a project, or a language, etc.
Primordial can mean a couple of things. It can mean “having existed since the beginning” or “basic” or “fundamental.”
Primal is actually derived from the word primitive, so they can mean the same thing! Think of them as synonyms.
They are all adjectives used to describe a noun. I hope this helps!
