Bedeutendere

Bedeutendere is the comparative form of the German adjective bedeutend, meaning significant or important. It is used attributively before a noun to express a greater degree of significance. It is not typically used as a stand-alone predicate; the predicative form would usually be bedeutender (more significant) or am bedeutendsten (the most significant), depending on context.

Usage and examples: bedeutendere is commonly found in phrases such as eine bedeutendere Rolle (a more significant role), bedeutendere Ergebnisse (more significant results), or bedeutendere Argumente (more compelling arguments). The exact ending of the form varies with gender, number, and case, and the form shown here is one inflected variant used before nouns.

Etymology and meaning: bedeutendere derives from the adjective bedeutend, which comes from the verb bedeuten (to signify) and the noun Bedeutung (meaning, significance). The comparative degree expresses that something has greater importance, impact, or significance relative to another thing or to a baseline.

Notes: Bedeutung and bedeuten are related terms in German, with bedeutend and bedeutsam sometimes used interchangeably in English as “significant” or “important,” though bedeutsam often carries a nuance closer to “meaningful” or “momentous.” The word bedeutendere is a grammatical inflection rather than a separate lexical entry.
