Unrealistischer

Unrealistischer is the comparative form of the German adjective unrealistisch, meaning more unreal or less realistic. It is used to describe something that deviates from plausibility or from what is considered realistic, often in discussions of art, planning, or critical analysis.

Formation and grammar: Unrealistischer is formed from unrealistisch plus the comparative suffix -er. Like other adjectives in German, it inflects for gender, number, and case. Examples include: masculine nominative singular with an indefinite article — ein unrealistischer Traum; feminine nominative singular — unrealistische Idee; neuter nominative singular — unrealistisches Konzept; plural — unrealistische Ideen or unrealistische Kunstwerke. In predicative constructions without a determiner, the masculine form is unrealistischer: Der Plan ist unrealistischer geworden.

Usage: The term is common in journalism, literary and film criticism, and everyday language when signaling that something is more removed from reality than usual. It can refer to forecasts, designs, or narratives that stretch plausibility, or to artistic works that emphasize fantasy or surreal elements. The nuance conveyed by unrealistischer is stronger than unrealistisch, marking a comparative degree of unreality.
