Translation for "encore moins"?

Question

Hello,

I'm looking for the translation in english for "encore moins"
Ex: Il aimait encore moins les bonbons
He liked even less sweets?
I don't think it's the right translation.....

Thank you

Answer 1

I think your sentence follows another one in which the narrator says "he" didn't like something.
For example : il n'aimait pas les pâtisseries. Il aimait encore moins les bonbons.
So it means your sentence (the second one) is there to compare it with the first one. So, I'd say (he didn't like pastry [or anything else],) and even less sweets.

Answer 2

...even less than that!
...but he liked the candy even less (than the other thing he compared too).
.....mais il aimait encore moins les bonbons.

Answer 3

encore moins means "even less".

So your sentence translates as "He liked sweets even less" (as in "even less than something else", or "even less than before").

Answer 4

"he likes sweets even less"
remember that in French, you can never do a word for word translation or u'll get a load of waffle! so translate it & then think about it logically, u were nearly there!

Answer 5

He liked sweets even less. Your sentence is correct, just a slight word order problem. (If you want American English, use 'candy' instead of 'sweets')

Answer 6

"Encore moins" is litteraly "even less".

Answer 7

yes, that's the right translation. even less

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
