Leisere

Leisere is the comparative form of the German adjective leise, meaning quiet. It is used to describe a higher degree of quietness in comparison with another thing or person. In standard usage, leisere appears in attributive position before a feminine singular noun and agrees with that noun. For example: die leisere Stimme (the quieter voice).

The corresponding forms for other genders are der leisere Ton (masculine singular) and das leisere Geräusch (neuter singular). In the plural, after a definite determiner like die, the form is die leiseren Stimmen (the quieter voices). When leise is used as an adverb to describe an action, the comparative adverb is leiser, not leisere, as in Sprich leiser (speak more quietly).

Leisere stems from leise plus the standard German comparative suffix -er; its usage is primarily limited to attributive position before a noun. It is not used as a standalone predicate adjective in most contexts, where other endings or a different construction would be employed.
