"I think the one from the other store is better."

Translation: Je trouve que celle de l'autre magasin est mieux.

I think something in the "hint" would be helpful. (The hints that are given in general are pretty useless).

[JohnnyB809998]

"better" is an adjective describing "the one", so it must be translated as "meilleur(e)". Mieux is an adverb, ain't it???

[GraemeSarg]

"Mieux", like "bien" is both an adjective and an adverb.

[M.S.McCoy]

Point 1: Je trouve....means I find, not I think. Penser and trouver may be interchangeable in French but think and find are not in English.

[GrahamNdP]

Actually you could say "I find that the one from the other store is better." or "I find the one from the other store better." in English! :)

Any thoughts on why this was rejected? je crois que celui de l'autre magasin est mellieur. Duo often uses croire as synonymous with penser.

[GrahamNdP]

You misspelled « meilleur » ! :)

[Geoffrey878583]

This looks wrong. Shouldn't it be "que celle de l'autre magasin est meilleur" ? According to https://francais.lingolia.com/fr/vocabulaire/mots-confondus/autres/mieux-meilleur,
Mieux peut être employé comme adjectif avec le verbe être pour exprimer un jugement moral ou intellectuel.

[Doggydoodo1]

I believe you’re correct. I struggle with this myself in regular use but “mieux” is an adverb (so modifies a verb) and “meilleur” is an adjective (so it modifies a noun). In this example, what is being modified is “the one from the other store” so it’s a noun? Can somebody more grammatically knowledgeable please advise?

[GrahamNdP]

Both are accepted - your error is that with « celle » you need to use « meilleure » ! :)

[stupefaite]

I don't know answer but I typed je trouve que celui de l'autre magasin est meilleur and that's also correct.

[GraemeSarg]

The appropriate adjective to express that something is of good quality is "bien", not "bon".

Therefore the appropriate adjective to express that something is of better quality is "mieux".

[RichardSus4]

I wrote "Je pense que celui de l'autre magasin est mieux--not accepted. Why should it be "celle" when magasin is masculine. I think DUO screwed up this one (encore!).

[GrahamNdP]

That is accepted now but note that « celle / celui » has nothing to do with « magasin » - "the one" refers to whatever item is in the other store so it could be either feminine e.g. « une chemise » or masculine e.g. « un pull » ! :)
