größere
Größere is the inflected form of the German adjective groß used in the comparative context to express a larger size or extent when it precedes a noun. In German, the adjective is declined to reflect gender, number, and case, and größere occurs in attributive position with definite articles, possessives, or in plural contexts. For example: eine größere Stadt (a larger city), die größeren Städte (the larger cities), das größere Modell (the larger model). In all of these, größere functions as part of the adjective phrase and is not a separate word with its own independent meaning.
Größere appears in several common patterns:
- With definite articles: die größere Stadt, die größeren Städte.
- With indefinite or possessive determiners: eine größere Stadt, seine größere Schwester.
- In plural without a definite article: größere Städte.
