Szokatlanabb

Szokatlanabb is a Hungarian comparative adjective meaning more unusual or odder. It is formed from szokatlan (unusual) by adding the comparative suffix -abb, and it is used to compare two or more items in terms of unusualness.

Formation and usage notes: In Hungarian, adjectives form the comparative with the suffixes -abb or -ebb depending on phonology; szokatlan ends with a consonant, so -abb is added to produce szokatlanabb. There are no irregularities in its formation. The superlative is formed with the particle leg before the adjective, for example a legszokatlanabb jelenség (the most unusual phenomenon).

When used in sentences, szokatlanabb typically precedes the noun it modifies or appears predicatively with a linking verb. Examples include szokatlanabb megoldás (a more unusual solution) or Ez a jelenség szokatlanabb, mint az előző (This phenomenon is more unusual than the previous one).

Usage context and nuance: Szokatlanabb conveys a stronger degree of unusualness than szokatlan, and it is appropriate in descriptive or evaluative writing. It is not restricted to specific domains and can describe ideas, objects, behavior, or events, provided the speaker intends a direct comparison.
