Képletesebb

Képletesebb is a Hungarian adjective used to express that something is more pictorial or more image-rich than another thing. It is typically employed in literary criticism and descriptive prose to highlight intensified visual or figurative detail.

Etymology and formation: The form is the comparative of képletes, an adjective built from kép ("image") with a derivational sense of being image-related, and the standard comparative suffix -ebb/-obb is added to produce képletesebb, meaning "more képletes" or "more pictorial." The term is a neologism or a stylistic coinage rather than a widely established base item in everyday language.

Usage and nuance: Képletesebb often appears when a writer wants to stress vivid sensory imagery or more elaborate figure language. It can describe prose, poetry, or narration that foregrounds visual detail. The word tends to appear in discussions of style and may be considered somewhat literary or stylistically marked.

Example: A leírás képletesebb lett a részletek gazdagságától, és a képzeletünk előtt tágra nyílt a világ. In this sense, the term serves to intensify a comparison of descriptive quality between passages or works.
