Voordeligere

Voordeligere is the comparative form of the Dutch adjective voordelig, meaning advantageous or cost-effective. It is used to compare two or more items or options in terms of affordability or value.

In modern standard Dutch, the preferred comparative form is usually voordeliger. Voordeligere is attested and understood, but it is less common and may appear in regional speech, certain stylistic contexts, or older texts. When used before a noun in attributive position, some speakers may prefer voordeliger as well; both forms can appear in marketing and advertising depending on the desired tone.

Etymology: voordelig comes from voordeel (advantage, benefit) with the suffix -ig. The comparative generally follows regular Dutch patterns, yielding voordeliger, with voordeligere appearing as an alternative in some contexts. The superlative form is voordeligst, as in de voordeligste optie.

Usage notes: In formal writing, prefer voordeliger or rephrase with a noun phrase, such as "een prijs met meer voordeel," instead of "een voordeligere prijs." The choice between voordeliger and voordeligere can depend on regional usage and stylistic preference.

Examples: Deze aanbieding is voordeliger dan die. Deze aanbieding is de voordeligste van alle opties.
