Anonymous What does the sentence " You are much better than that" mean in such a context? Your context is a mishmash of native and non-native expression, but in what context you have given, the phrase means 'you can make a better judgement / understand better / behave more appropriately than that'. The limited context makes no further interpretation possible.
