Where is the mention of taste? Doesn't this say: a strawberry is not as good as a banana

That's what I wrote and it accepted it as right.

How? Because: mai bună or nu mai bună means: better / not better (worse).

This line is making a comparison between a strawberry and a banana.

Also mai bună can mean tastier (according to my girlfriend)

Wouldn't this translate to "a strawberry" instead of "one strawberry"?
