Предлагаемый выше вариант (c 'than') более типичный, но с 'that' - эта настоящая конструкция, только достаточно редкая. Может быть, считайте это как, "It is better that you are что-нибудь" например, *Пара-то спорят* *Другой приходит...* - I'm sorry. I'll leave, I shouldn't be here (to see this). - No. Better that you are. Stay. (т.е. It is better that you are here.) ----- - They fired me. I can't be seen around here. - No, better that you are. Show them you aren't intimidated. ----- -I'm so nervous! -Well, it's probably better that you are. You'll perform with more energy. ----- Я неуверен о подходящим переводе, но предложил бы, этого лучше, что ты здесь. / ...это лучше, чем наоборот.

Both Dominic and Tunde are right. Though Tunde is thinking of a different phrase. At first, I thought the same as her...that maybe you meant, "better than you are". This is much more common than the phrase "better that you are". The first phrase is used as a comparison between two people as in, "he's better than you are in basketball." The second or latter phrase is a strange construct that can be used like this: "it's better that you are living in Canada than Sierra Leone."

Hi! It should be "Better than you are". If you are really good at Mathematics and I'm not so good at it, you can say "I'm better at Maths than you are".

My understanding is : example : you and me play basketball , but you play better than me,... so you can tell me that I´m better that you are.
