Italian Phrase
No, la stazione è più lontana.
Meaning
The speaker is correcting someone, saying that the train station is farther away than the listener thinks. The word *più* creates a comparative, so the sentence literally means “No, the station is more far.”
When to use
Use this phrase when you need to point out that a location (especially a train or bus station) is at a greater distance than expected. It works in everyday conversation, travel situations, or when giving directions.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, comparatives are formed with *più* + adjective, and the adjective must always match the gender and number of the noun it describes. When talking about distance, Italians often add *da qui* (from here) for extra clarity, especially in crowded cities where landmarks are used as reference points.
