großflächigem

Großflächigem is the dative singular form of the German adjective großflächig. The adjective itself describes something that covers or relates to a large surface or extent, such as large-scale areas, broad surfaces, or expansive designs. It is formed from the combination of groß (large) and Fläche (surface) with the suffix -ig, yielding a term used to characterize spatial or visual extent.

In use, großflächig and its inflected forms appear in contexts such as geography, architecture, design, and marketing. When the adjective appears without a determiner, in the dative case it takes the ending -em, giving examples like mit großflächigem Display or auf großflächigem Gelände. With a definite article, the endings shift according to standard German declension, for example dem großflächigen Banner (dative masculine/neuter) or der großflächigen Fläche (dative feminine). The form großflächigem therefore signals a dative context and a strong emphasis on a large surface character when no article is present.

Usage notes and related terms: großflächig describes wide-area characteristics, while related expressions include großformatig (in large format) and weitläufig (extensively spread). The corresponding noun form is Großfläche or großflächige Fläche in contexts emphasizing a large surface area.
