American English: The use of the word “more”.?

Lately, I’ve been hearing the phrase “…more better…”. While I understand that this specific phrase is grammatically incorrect, how can I use the word “more” to emphasize an improvement; in other words make it “more better”? I’m just curious that’s all.

making use of your source, how a lot of human beings do you know that decision rugby ‘rugger’, not many i’m particular, perhaps somebody who has undertaken a private training and has an top classification English history. As on the time of foundation of the word soccer which you have quoted maximum folk at college might have come from inner maximum training and the ‘monied’ if not top instructions, then the use of the word soccer can consequently be termed snobbish at ultimate. i won’t think of a few completely grew to become out gentleman at Millwall calling out, ‘properly performed old chap, jolly good purpose there!’ are you able to? That aside, how something includes be an Americanism, is that the electorate of the u . s . a . use the word, they have accompanied it to distinguish between their mutated form of Rugby and genuine soccer, performed with the ft, and as such in spite of the fact that if or not the word has an foundation in the top instructions of the united kingdom or not, the utilization now’s an Americanisation and could be banned. with the aid of the way, do you know that the human beings did not invent baseball the two, that started out interior the united kingdom, a lot the way lots of the ultimate issues do!

“Better” is a form of the word “good” or “well.” Grammar dictates that “better” (the operative part being the “er” on the end) means “More good” or “More Well.” So the “more” is implied. This is called a superlative.

You could use a more refined adjective like “relieved” or “grounded” with the word more.

“moh bettah” is a pidgin English phrase. The Latin based languages (Spanish, French, Italian) allow for this type of modification of an superlative adjective, whereas English does not. By taking the the grammar of the Latin languages and applying it to English, we get “moh bettah.” For instance in Spanish better = mas mejor (literally “more better”).

You can use the word ‘more’ to emphasize a word that is not already a superlative (which better is – it is a superlative of the word ‘good’)

You could say that the item you are describing is ‘more economical, more enduring, more hardy, more pleasant, more bang for the buck’ etc.

you cant use the word more to emphasize an improvement… its one of the many things in this language which is just confusings… more is used more quantities and stuff… like “i need to buy more grapes”

where as you can use “much” in the improvements sense…

no such thing as more better–that’s double comparison.

the correct way to say it is MUCH better 😀
