direkteres

Direkteres is a term that appears in some Scandinavian-language discussions as a comparative form meaning “more direct.” It is not widely recognized as an established standard form in Danish or Norwegian dictionaries, where the typical way to express a higher degree of directness is the phrase mer direkte or similar constructions.

Etymology and usage notes. The appearance of direkteres is largely confined to informal writing, regional varieties, or calques from other languages. In standard Danish and Norwegian, danish uses mer direkte and Norwegian often uses en mer direkte tilnærming rather than a single word direkteres. Because direkteres is not part of mainstream grammar, its meaning and acceptability vary by speaker and context.

Linguistic and stylistic considerations. When direkteres is encountered, it is usually interpreted as an attempt to form a single-word comparative by applying a suffix in a way that mirrors other adjectives, rather than as established standard usage. Writers who use it may intend a concise stylistic effect or aim to describe approaches, communications, or processes that are more direct or straightforward. For clarity, many editors prefer standard forms such as “mer direkte” or “en mer direkte tilnærming.”

See also. Direct, directness, direct approach, mer direkte.

Notes. As a nonstandard or noncanonical form, direkteres should be used with caution in formal writing and is likely to be unfamiliar to many readers outside specific regional or informal contexts.
