Two possibilities, with very different meanings :

• "A ferait mieux que B" -> "A would do better than B", as in, they would perform a task better
• "A ferait mieux de + verbe" -> A really should do something (otherwise something bad will happen)

Is it correct to say « tu ferais mieux si tu me quittes?

[rocky siren]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, can you give me the english sentence ?

[zinc patio]

« You should leave me »

[rocky siren]

"Quitter" is the correct verb then

[zinc patio]

👌

[rocky siren]

And the sentence could be "Tu ferais mieux de me quitter"

[zinc patio]

Ok so si is incorrect?

Like if

[rocky siren]

The construction is a bit weird with "if". Just a sec

Maybe "Tu irais mieux si tu me quittais" as in, they would get better. Not exactly what you were saying though

[zinc patio]

Ok i see

[zinc patio]

Yeah different thing, but thank you anyway

[zinc patio]

I know this too now

[rocky siren]

No prob, it's not easy to find a direct equivalent for "doing better", but maybe someone else will have an idea

[zinc patio]

Nah, i understood it
