angenehmer

Angenehmer is a German adjective form meaning more pleasant or agreeable, i.e., the comparative of angemehm. It is used to compare two or more things or states and must agree with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case.

In usage, angemehm describes qualities perceived as agreeable or pleasing. For example: Dieser Wein ist angenehmer als der andere (This wine is more pleasant than the other). Another example: Der Weg ist angenehmer geworden (The path has become more pleasant). As with other adjectives, the ending of angemehmer changes according to the determiner and the noun it modifies.

Grammatically, the form varies by article and noun. With an indefinite article: ein angenehmer Mann (masculine nominative singular), eine angenehme Frau (feminine nominative singular), ein angenehmes Zimmer (neuter nominative singular). In plural: angenehme Menschen (nominative plural). After a definite article: der angenehme Mann, die angenehme Frau, das angenehme Zimmer; die angenehmen Menschen for the plural. When used without an article, the forms adapt to the noun’s gender and case, typically appearing as angenehmer Mann, angenehmes Zimmer, angenehme Leute, and so on.

The term is strictly adjectival and not a proper noun; it can appear in both attributive and predicative positions (Der Wein ist angenehm; Der Wein ist angenehmer geworden). Related concepts include antonyms such as unangenehm and synonyms like freundlich or behaglich.
