Hyppigere

Hyppigere is a comparative form of the adjective hyppig, meaning more frequent or more common. It is used in Norwegian and Danish to compare how often something occurs, signaling a higher frequency than another reference point. The suffix -ere forms the comparative, paralleling other Germanic languages.

In usage, hyppigere can modify a noun or function predicatively after a linking verb. Examples include hyppigere hendelser (more frequent events) and forekomsten ble hyppigere (the occurrence became more frequent). The term is common in descriptive writing, journalism, and especially in statistics or scientific reporting when describing trends in data or symptoms, incidents, and other recurring phenomena.

Etymology and cross-language notes: the word derives from the base hyppig (frequent) with the standard comparative suffix -ere. In Bokmål and Danish, hyppigere is the typical form. In other Norwegian varieties, such as some Nynorsk usages, alternative forms like hyppigare or mer hyppig may appear, depending on dialect and stylistic choice.

See also: hyppighet (frequency), forekomst (occurrence), frekvens (frequency).

Summary: Hyppigere conveys that something happens more often and is used to express comparative frequency in Nordic languages, with common applications in data interpretation, trend descriptions, and everyday language when noting increases in occurrence.
