外のほうがいいです I prefer outside.

To compare two things, say "(A yori) B no hoo ga + [adjective]." This indicates B is more [adjective] than A. When it's clear what's being compared, you can omit "A yori."

How to compare things using adjectives:
In "(A yori) B no hoo ga ＋ [adjective]," both I-adjectives and NA-adjectives can be used. With I-adjectives such as "ii" or "good," "yasui" or "cheap," or "hayai" or "fast," you don't have to change the adjectives. Just put "desu" at the end of the sentence. With NA-adjectives such as "suki(na)" or "favorite," or "kiree(na)" or "beautiful," take away the "(na)" and put "desu."
