Moins bien/plus bien

Hello, can we talk about "moins bien" and "plus bien"?

Hi Elijah, 

On their own, they can sound really wrong but you will use them in the following examples -

for 'plus' in the sense of 'ne plus' ( no longer) -

 Je ne me souviens plus bien d'elle = I don't remember her well

for 'moins' -

Nous sommes généralement moins bien payés = We are generally less well paid 

Certains pays se développent moins bien que d'autres Certain countries develop less well than others

In a positive sense plus bien will always be mieux otherwise, it sounds like 'more well' in French which is as bad in English -

Les armoires de Marie sont mieux que celles de Martin = Marie's wardrobes are better than Martin's 

Hope this helps!
