größeren

größeren is not a standalone word in German but the inflected form of the adjective größer, the comparative of groß. It appears before a noun according to German adjective declension and is most common with plural nouns or in singular phrases where the determiner requires the ending -en (weak or mixed declension).

Usage and examples:

In the plural after a definite determiner, größeren appears as in Die größeren Städte wachsen schnell. It also occurs in the accusative plural: Ich kenne die größeren Städte. In the dative plural: Mit den größeren Städten habe ich bessere Optionen. In the genitive plural: Die Häuser der größeren Städte sind teuer. In singular constructions with a determiner in cases other than nominative plural, you can find forms such as Ich kenne den größeren Mann (accusative singular masculine) or Mit dem größeren Auto (dative singular neuter). Without a determiner, the endings differ: Größeres Auto (neuter singular) or Größere Häuser (plural).

Origin and function:

größeren derives from größer, the comparative form of groß, with typical German umlaut and the -en ending used to mark case, number, and gender. Like other inflected adjectives, it does not function independently as a base lexeme but as a grammatical marker that accompanies a noun to express a relative size.
