grundigere

Grundigere is the comparative form of the adjective grundig in Danish and Norwegian (bokmål and nynorsk). It means more thorough, more detailed, or more careful. It is used to compare two or more instances of thoroughness, for example: en grundigere analyse (a more thorough analysis) or en grundigere gjennomgang (a more thorough review). The corresponding superlative in these languages is grundigst.

In usage, grundigere appears in formal and written language, including journalism, academic writing, and technical documentation. In everyday Norwegian, some speakers may prefer mer grundig or mer grundelig for the comparative, but grundigere remains standard in many contexts, and Danish tends to use grundigere as the common comparative form.

Etymology: the word derives from grundig, with the comparative suffix -ere; the root grund- conveys a sense of thoroughness or foundation.

Geographic and stylistic notes: grundigere is primarily used in Danish and Norwegian texts. In Swedish, the equivalent form is grundligare, which reflects different inflection patterns in that language. As with other degree forms, grundigere is typically used when articulating distinctions in depth, quality, or level of detail between two or more items.
