efficiënere

Efficiënere is a Dutch adjective form that denotes a higher degree of efficiency. In modern standard Dutch, the usual comparative form is efficiënter; efficiënere is typically considered archaic, regional, or stylistically marked and is rarely used in contemporary writing.

Usage notes and context

Efficiënere may appear in older texts, regional dialects, or in poetic or historical contexts where older spelling conventions persisted. In most current dictionaries and style guides, efficiënter is recommended for the comparative of efficient. If efficiënere is encountered, it should be read with awareness of its nonstandard or historical character, and replaced with efficiënter in formal or standard prose.

Relation to other forms

The base adjective is efficiënt, meaning efficient. The related noun is efficiëntie (efficiency), and the verb form efficienteren (to increase efficiency). The etymology traces efficiënt to the Latin-based root significating effectiveness, with the suffix -er/-ere forming the comparative. The word is linked to broader discussions of efficiency in technology, management, and process optimization.

Note

As a nonstandard or historical variant, efficiënere is not typically used in contemporary formal Dutch and should be avoided in professional writing in favor of efficiënter.
