better than / worse than
If I want to say tom is mal in cooking than Antonio How do I say it?
Also If I want to say snow is malo than rain How do I say it?
The problem here is that I don't really know the difference between mal and malo.

Hi Kumin.
To compare things you must use the words "peor que" o "mejor que", which are literal translations for "better than" and "worse than".
By the way, don't say "más mejor" or "más peor" ever. That would be a huge mistake.
When you use the word "mal", it can be before or after the noun that it is modifying, the same case with "bien" (not buen), only use such words after the noun if they are being used as adverbs.
The adjective "Buen" is always going to be before the name which it modifies.
Bueno and malo are adjectives and they can be before or after the noun.
"Worse" and "better" are "peor" and "mejor." Mal(o)/buen(o) have nothing to do with it.
