learning the より with 少し、かなり、and stuff like dore kurai and said, can someone give me a general english translation, my textbook is all japanese and having a hard time figuring out what exactly they mean although I have an idea I think
この箱それよりどのくらい大きいですか。それより少し大きいです
My translation: How much bigger is this box? Its just a little bit bigger
北海道はそれよりどのくらい寒いですか。ここよりずっと寒いです
My translation: How much colder is hokkaido?. Its always colder than here.
この仕事は今までの仕事よりかなり大変です
This work now is considerably more troublesome than what it was(before).
あの新しい店は安いそうですけど、普通の店よりどのくらい安いんですか
This new store looks cheap but, would an ordinary store be even cheaper?
I see, then, それ refers to the weather of a place they were talking about previously, since the demonstrative それ is for "things" whreas そこ is for location.
It does mean that, if you're looking for a literal translation. It's just that the phrase "it's fine if I don't say it" is awkward and vague; the same meaning is usually expressed similarly to Toritoribeさん's translation as "don't need to say it" or "don't have to say it."
I wouldn't recommend the overly literal translation "it's fine if I don't say it" for anything other than the purpose of understanding the Japanese grammar.
