Schnellerem

Schnellerem is a grammatical form of the German adjective schnell. It represents the dative singular ending used with masculine or neuter nouns when the noun is not preceded by a determiner. In other words, it is the strong declension ending -em in the dative case.

In practice, schnellerem appears in phrases such as mit schnellerem Tempo or mit schnellerem Fortschritt, where Tempo is neuter and Fortschritt is masculine, both in the dative singular without a definite article. The form signals that the adjective is inflected for case, number, and gender without a preceding determiner. When a determiner is present, other endings are used (for example, dem schnellen Tempo or dem schnelleren Mann).

Summary and distinction: schnellerem is not a separate lexical item but a specific inflected form of the adjective schnell. It should not be confused with the comparative form schneller, which expresses a comparison, nor with other endings like schnelleren (plural or feminine) or schnellen (after a determiner in the dative). Understanding this form helps in recognizing how German adjectives decline in contexts that require a strong, determiner-free ending.
