gründlichere

Gründlichere is the comparative form of the German adjective gründlich, meaning more thorough or meticulous. It is used to express that one action, analysis, document, or other thing has a greater degree of thoroughness than another.

In standard German, gründlich is declined like other adjectives, and gründlichere appears in various attributive positions, especially when the noun is preceded by a definite article. For example: Der gründlichere Bericht ist präziser. Die gründlichere Prüfung wurde eingereicht. These sentences illustrate how the comparative form signals that one item is more thorough than another within a specific context.

Usage notes:

- Gründlichere predominantly conveys a higher level of thoroughness, often in formal or technical writing, where precision and care are emphasized.

- It can be contrasted with synonyms such as sorgfältiger or genauer, depending on the exact nuance (careful versus precise).

Limitations:

- In everyday spoken German, speakers may prefer alternative constructions or other comparatives (for example, using gründlicher in some contexts or restructuring the sentence to avoid ambiguity).

- The form grünlichere, gründer? or other misspellings are incorrect; the correct comparative for gründlich in suitable contexts is gründlicher, with the ending determined by gender, case, and article in attributive use.
