Kühlere

Kühlere is the comparative form of the German adjective kühl, meaning cooler. It is used to compare the temperature or perceived coolness of two or more objects, environments, or conditions. As a attributive adjective, kühlere must be inflected to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies.

In practice, kühlere commonly appears before feminine singular nouns and in certain plural forms. For example: die kühlere Luft (the cooler air) and eine kühlere Brise (a cooler breeze). When used with masculine singular nouns with a definite article, the form changes to kühler (der kühle Wind, die kühle Luft). In plural, kühlere can be used without an article in some contexts, as in kühlere Temperaturen (cooler temperatures) or die kühleren Temperaturen (the cooler temperatures) with a definite article.

Usage notes:

- With definite articles (die, der, das) or possessive determiners, the ending adjusts to standard German inflection rules, often yielding kühlere for feminine singular and kühle for masculine singular.

- With no article, the strong inflection can produce kühlere in certain plural and feminine-singular phrases, though many speakers rely on context and article choice to determine the exact ending.

- The form is rarely used as a noun; it remains an adjective form and is not capitalized unless it begins a sentence or is part of a title.

Related terms:

- Kühler (noun): a radiator or cooler device, or a person who cools.

- kühl (the base adjective for cool).

Kühlere is thus a specific inflected form used to express a higher degree of coolness, most commonly before feminine singular nouns or in certain plural constructions.
