✕Common Mistakes

The second part of the correlative must be 'desto' (or 'umso'), not 'als'.
Je schnellste, desto besser für mehrere Nutzer.
Use the comparative 'schneller', not the superlative 'schnellste'.
Je schneller, desto besser für mehrere Nutzer*innen.
While gender‑inclusive language is fine, the phrase 'mehrere Nutzer' already covers all users; adding '*innen' can sound forced in this fixed expression.

Cultural Tip
The 'je … desto …' pattern is very common in formal German, especially in technical writing and presentations. It sounds more polished than the English literal translation. In spoken German you may also hear 'je … umso …', which is interchangeable. Avoid mixing the two in the same sentence, and keep the comparative adjectives in their base form (no article or ending).
