Gesünderem

Gesünderem is a German adjective form in its comparative degree. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it is the inflected form of the adjective gesund in the comparative gesünder, used to describe a masculine or neuter noun in the dative case (often when no definite article is present) or, more generally, in contexts where the noun requires the -em ending in the dative.

Grammar and usage

In German, adjectives decline to reflect case, gender, and number. The form gesünderem occurs as the dative singular ending for the comparative of gesund when modifying a neuter noun or, in some constructions, a masculine noun without a following article. Examples include phrases such as gesünderem Essen (dative neuter singular) or in fixed expressions after prepositions that govern the dative: mit gesünderem Essen.

Common contexts

- mit gesünderem Essen (with healthier food)

- in gesünderem Lebensstil is uncommon; more typical would be zu einem gesünderen Lebensstil (dative with a different ending due to der/ein/kein-article pattern)

The exact ending of the adjective varies with the article and the noun’s gender and case, so gesünderem represents one specific inflection among several: gesünderes, gesünderer, gesünderen, und so weiter.
