Svagere

Svagere is a comparative adjective used in Danish and Norwegian to mean “weaker” or “less strong.” It is the comparative form of the adjective svag in Danish and svak in Norwegian, and it is used to compare two or more subjects in terms of strength, intensity, or degree.

In Danish, svagere is used in standard comparison constructions, typically with the word end: for example, "Denne bil er svagere end den anden" (This car is weaker than the other). In Norwegian Bokmål, the corresponding form is svakere, as in "Denne bilen er svakere enn den andre." The form functions as both a modifier and part of comparatives in general descriptive contexts.

Etymology: Svagere derives from the Germanic root meaning “weak” and is related to cognates across Germanic languages, including Dutch zwak and German schwach. The Scandinavian forms reflect regular sound correspondences within the family, yielding svag/ svak in the positive degree and svagere/ svakere in the comparative.
