Mørkere

Mørkere is the comparative form of the Danish adjective mørk, meaning darker. It is used when comparing two or more things in terms of darkness or shade. In Danish grammar, the base form mørk is used in indefinite contexts, and the comparative is formed by adding the suffix -ere to produce mørkere.

The word mørk itself comes from older Germanic roots, with cognates in Old Norse and related languages that carried the meaning dark or shadowy. The comparative ending -ere is a common way to form comparatives for many Danish short adjectives, including mørk, which yields mørkere.

Usage examples include phrases like en mørkere farve (a darker color), to mørkere farver (two darker colors), den mørkere nat (the darker night), or de mørkere huse (the darker houses). In sentences, mørkere describes a higher degree of darkness relative to another reference point.

In addition to the comparative form, the superlative form of mørk is vanligly den mørkeste or den mest mørke, used to indicate the darkest of a group. Related lexical items include mørk (dark), mørke (darkness) and other color-related adjectives that follow the same comparative pattern.
