Plakkeriger

Plakkeriger is a Dutch adjective meaning "stickier" or "more adhesive." It is the comparative form of the adjective "plakkerig," which describes something that has the quality of sticking or adhering. The root of the word is "plakken," meaning "to stick" or "to glue." Plakkeriger is used to describe a substance, texture, or sensation that exhibits a greater degree of adhesiveness compared to something else or a previous state. For example, one might say that a certain type of glue is plakkeriger than another, or that a jam has become plakkeriger after being left out in the sun. The term can also be applied metaphorically to describe situations or behaviors that are more persistent or difficult to detach from, though this usage is less common. The pronunciation involves a soft 'g' sound, similar to the 'ch' in Scottish 'loch' or German 'Bach.' It is a common word in everyday Dutch conversation.
