experimentelleren

Experimentelleren is the German inflected form of the adjective experimentell in the comparative degree used before plural nouns with a definite article. It is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical form of the existing adjective.

Morphology and form: The base is experimentell. To express a higher degree before plural nouns in a definite context, German combines the comparative ending -er with the plural ending -en, producing the form experimentelleren. This occurs in phrases such as die experimentelleren Varianten or den experimentelleren Ansätzen. For reference, the corresponding singular forms are experimenteller (masculine), experimentellere (feminine), and experimentelleres (neuter).

Usage: The form conveys “more experimental” relative to another item and typically appears when referring to multiple items that are set as a group or compared within a definite frame. In ordinary speech, speakers may choose the singular forms (e.g., der experimentellere Ansatz) when discussing a single item, while die experimentelleren Varianten is used for multiple items. In many contexts, alternatives such as more experimental or comparing without the comparative form may be used, depending on style and register.

Example sentences: In der Studie wurden zwei Ansätze verglichen: der klassische und der experimentelleren Ansatz. Die experimentelleren Varianten führten zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen. Origin and sense: the term derives from the adjective experimentell, itself related to the concept of experimentation and empirical testing, and is used to describe attributes or qualities that involve more extensive or intensive experimentation.
