Blødere

Blødere is the Danish comparative form of the adjective blød, meaning soft or tender. It is used to compare the softness of two or more objects, textures, or experiences. In standard Danish, the comparative is typically formed by adding the suffix -ere to the base form, so blød becomes blødere. The form is used across gender and number in both written and spoken Danish: en pude er blødere end en anden; puden er blødere.

Besides the single-word comparative blødere, some speakers also use phrases like mere blød or mere blødt to express a similar degree, especially in cautious or formal registers. However, blødere remains the common and widely understood form in everyday language.

The word functions in predicative constructions (Det er blødere) and as a modifier (“blødere stof” for a softer fabric). It is closely related to the base adjective blød, whose meaning centers on softness, tenderness, or yielding texture. The corresponding superlative is blødest, used to describe the utmost softness within a group or comparison.

In usage, blødere often appears in discussions of textiles, furnishings, and food textures, as well as in metaphorical contexts that describe gentleness or leniency. It forms part of standard Danish grammar and vocabulary for expressing gradations of softness in physical or figurative senses.
