Has anybody else translated "mai" as "never" (Italian false friend)?

Niste really just means more than one and has no need for any other girls to exist in the world, while unele means "some, but not all".

"Some of the girls" would translate to "Unele dintre fete"
It would mean the same thing, just not word by word.
"some of the girls' does not mean the same thing as "some girls" in English. "Some" in "some girls" is a quantifier--there exists at least one girl who is clean... "Some of" is a partitive genitive--it's saying that some of a group of girls are clean

i had translated the sentence immediately but I did not dare write it, in case some feminist lawyer would read it !!! it' s a joke. I live in a VERY macho country in South America., which doesn't mean I am one too !

Why is 'more clean' wrong? I am English speaking and I would say that.
