experimentellere

Experimentellere is a comparative form of the adjective experimentell, used in some Scandinavian languages to mean “more experimental.” It serves to compare two or more items in terms of how experimental they are, and its closest English rendering is “more experimental.” The word shares its roots with the technical adjective family derived from experiment, and it is linked to the broader concept of experimentation in scientific and creative work.

Etymology and morphology: The base adjective is connected to the idea of testing and experience, with the suffixes that form comparatives in certain Scandinavian varieties. In languages that employ suffix-based comparatives, experimentellere marks a higher degree of experimental character than the base form. The precise spelling and usage can vary by language and standard, and related forms may appear as eksperimentellere or as periphrastic equivalents.

Usage and register: The term is most common in technical, academic, or analytical writing where a concise comparative is desirable. In modern Swedish, the preferred approach is usually the periphrastic mer experimentell (more experimental), and experimentellere is comparatively rare, usually confined to older texts, regional varieties, or stylistic writing. In Norwegian and Danish contexts where suffix-based comparatives are accepted, experimentellere may appear in appropriate domains.
