Vocabulary
more = rather?
Hello!
Could you help me, please?
Are those sentences correct and can we use the words "more" and "rather" equally in them:
She is more nice than wise = She is nice rather than wise.
He is more good than bad = He is good rather than bad.
Thank you!

daylightttBy the way, not more good but better good- better- (the)best.If we use this construction, 'better' is incorrect. We are not using comparatives of the adjectives, but saying something like, "He can more satisfactorily be described as good than as bad".
