Not as nice

H. A.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

It's one of the quirks of English idiom that "less nice" and "more nice" are never used, so the question ''Tes amis sont moins sympas que les nôtres'' should be translated "Your friends are not as/so nice as ours", not "Your friends are less nice than ours".

This question relates to:French lesson "Le nôtre/le vôtre/le leur/etc = Ours/yours/theirs (French Possessive Pronouns)"

Agreed. I didn't find this in the lesson you link to, however.
