Hi.
That’s grammatically correct, but you wouldn’t say that when you start with the sentence.
I mean, if you say “Dogs are cute. Cats are cuter than dogs”, your sentence is natural. However, if you haven’t said “Dogs are cute”, your sentence sounds odd.
That should be; 猫は犬よりかわいいです。Or猫は犬よりずっとかわいい す。


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
