Grundsätzlicher

Grundsätzlicher is a German adjective that translates to "fundamental," "basic," "principle," or "general" in English. It is derived from the noun "Grundsatz," which means "principle" or "rule." The word "grundsätzlicher" is the comparative form of "grundsätzlich." Therefore, it implies a greater degree of fundamentality or basicness compared to something else.

When used in a sentence, "grundsätzlicher" often modifies a noun or describes a situation in a comparative sense. For example, one might say that a new proposal is "grundsätzlicherer" (more fundamental) than an older one, suggesting it addresses a deeper or more essential aspect of the issue. It can also be used to indicate a more general or less specific approach.

In legal or philosophical contexts, "grundsätzlicher" emphasizes that a point is of core importance or forms the basis of an argument or system. It highlights that the underlying principles are being considered rather than specific details or exceptions. The adjective conveys a sense of established or foundational character.
