What is the English translation of what you are trying to say?

Thanks.

It is not correct English to say "less happier."

That is the equivalent of saying:
Less more happy.

It does not sound right in English, and grammatically, it is not correct.

If you don't agree, that's ok. We can agree to disagree on this.

Wishing you a Happy New Year!

For ex, in French, would you say:

moins mieux
or
moins heureux

(both are outright wrong, in both languages.)
