friskare

Friskare is a Swedish comparative adjective derived from frisk, meaning healthier or more vigorous. In everyday usage, friskare describes someone or something that has greater health, vitality, or freshness compared with another subject. It can modify people, animals, or things, as in “en friskare person,” or in phrases describing air or weather, such as “friskare luft” or “friskare vind,” meaning fresher or brisker wind.

Grammatical notes and examples help with usage. Friskare is formed by adding the comparative suffix -are to the adjective frisk. The standard comparative construction is “friskare än” (e.g., “Hon känner sig friskare än igår”). The superlative form is usually friskast, or is expressed with periphrastic forms such as “den mest friska” depending on context and style.

In practice, friskare often implies an improvement in physical condition, but it can also describe sensory impressions—air, atmosphere, or weather—that feel more bracing or invigorating. The word is common in health discussions, sports or fitness contexts, and natural descriptions.

Friskare is primarily an inflected adjective rather than a noun, though it can appear in various syntactic roles within a sentence. It is widely understood in Swedish-language writing and speech as a straightforward way to compare levels of health, energy, or freshness between subjects.
