ertragreichst

Ertragreich is a German adjective meaning yielding a high return or profit; literally, rich in yield. It is used to describe crops, land, investments, or businesses that produce a large amount of yield, revenue, or profitability. The related noun Ertrag denotes yield or return.

Etymology and formation: The word is formed from Ertrag (yield) plus the suffix -reich, meaning rich in or full of. This construction parallels other German adjectives like lohnend or rentabel in meaning.

Usage: In standard usage, ertragreich appears in attributive and predicative positions. Examples include: eine ertragreiche Ernte (a highly productive harvest), ertragreiche Investitionen (lucrative investments), das Jahr war ertragreicher als das Vorjahr (the year was more productive than the previous year). The comparative form is ertragreicher, and the superlative is am ertragreichsten or der ertragreichste, depending on gender and case.

Ertragreichst: The form ertragreichst is not a standard word in modern German. It does not function as a valid comparative or superlative, nor as a verb form. If encountered, it is typically a misspelling or mistaken construction. The correct forms to use are ertragreicher for the comparative and am ertragreichsten or der ertragreichste for the superlative, with appropriate endings.
