größeres

größeres is the neuter singular form of the German adjective groß, used to express that something is bigger or larger. It appears in attributive position before a neuter noun in the nominative or accusative case, usually after an indefinite article or possessive determiner: ein größeres Auto, mein größeres Haus. With a definite article the corresponding form is das größere Auto. The ending -es marks the neuter singular in these contexts.

In German, adjective endings vary with gender, number, this or that determiner, and case. For neuter singular

größeres can also function as a nominalized form of the adjective, capitalized as a noun. When used
