Why

Could someone please tell me why a student would say more very expensive rather than just very expensive?

A native speaker wouldn't say that.

Hi,

Pehaps the student is trying to compare two things, each of which is very expensive.

Maybe the student is attempting to say "much more expensive" or "even more expensive", but fails because of some false analogy with his own native language.
