czystsze

Czystsze is a Polish word that functions as the comparative form of the adjective czysty, meaning clean or pure. It is used to indicate that one object or situation has a greater degree of cleanliness or purity than another. In practice, czystsze appears in front of nouns and in predicate constructions, most often with neuter or plural nouns, for example czystsze powietrze (cleaner air) or te czystsze miejsca (these cleaner places).

From a linguistic standpoint, czystsze is formed from the stem czyst- with the standard comparative ending. In Polish, czysty has other gendered forms for the comparative as well: czystszy (masculine), czystsza (feminine), and czystsze (neuter and often plural in the appropriate contexts). The exact form used depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.

Usage of czystsze is common in environmental, health, and consumer discourse, where comparisons of cleanliness, purity, or quality are frequent. It appears in reports, journalism, and everyday speech when describing improvements or relative superiority in cleanliness, such as air quality, water, surfaces, or spaces.

Examples:

- Powietrze jest czystsze niż rok temu.

- Te czystsze miejsca w mieście zachęcają turystów.
