elastischere

Elastischere is the German comparative form of the adjective elastisch, meaning “more elastic.” It is used to compare two or more things in terms of their elasticity and is common in technical, scientific, and everyday contexts where elasticity is relevant. The word translates to “more elastic” in English and is part of standard German adjective inflection.

Grammar and usage: Elastischere is the attributive form used with definite determiners. For singular nouns, it follows the gender and case endings, for example: der elastischere Stoff (masculine nominative), die elastischere Membran (feminine nominative), das elastischere Material (neuter nominative). In plural, the corresponding form is die elastischeren Materialien. In predicative position after sein, werden, or bleiben, the usual form is elastischer (e.g., Der Stoff ist elastischer).

Alternative forms: German also allows an analytic comparative with mehr elastisch, but elastischere remains the common attributive form when paired with a definite article or similar determiner. The opposite superlative is elastischsten (e.g., das elastischste Material).

Contexts: The term is frequently used in materials science, textiles, biomechanics, and engineering to compare the elasticity of polymers, rubbers, foams, and other substances. It can also appear in descriptive language when highlighting differences in stretchability or resilience between two items.

Etymology: Elastisch derives from the same root as elasticity, with the typical German comparative suffix -er forming elastischere as the “more elastic” variant. See also elastisch and elasticity concepts in German linguistics and science contexts.
