Does "less worse" or "less bad" make any sense in English?
In Portuguese, when something or a situation is slightly better among bad alternatives, we use to say "Isto é menos pior!" (this is less worse!) or "menos mau!" (less bad!). Do they make sense in English? Are they correct gramatically?

Less bad is ok, but less worse doesn't work.
More naturally, native English speakers would say "its not as bad (as than other thing)
Worse is comparative, not a value something can have. A thing can be bad, a thing can only be worse THAN something. Worse only works when something is being compared to something else.
I hope this helps.
