häufigeres

Häufigeres is the comparative form of the German adjective häufig, meaning more frequent or more common. It is used to compare the frequency of occurrences between two or more things and is usually placed before a noun in attributive position.

In German grammar, the form of häufiges, häufiger, or häufigstes changes with gender, number, and case, as well as the presence of a determiner. The neuter singular can appear as häufiges before a noun when the determiner requires the neuter ending, or as häufiger in other contexts. In practice, häufigeres appears most often when the noun is masculine or neuter and expressed without a definite article or with certain mixed declension patterns, in phrases such as ein häufigeres Vorkommen or das häufigere Muster. In contexts with an explicit definite article, you typically see häufigere before neuter or other nouns (das häufigere Muster).

Common usage includes describing trends, statistics, or observations where one item occurs more often than another. For example: Ein häufigeres Vorkommen dieses Symptoms wurde beobachtet (A more frequent occurrence of this symptom was observed); Das häufigere Verhalten der Population erfordert weitere Analysen (The more frequent behavior of the population requires further analysis).

Related terms include häufig (frequent), häufiger (the comparative form in general), häufigerkeitsbezug zur Häufigkeit (frequency) and Häufigkeit as a noun meaning frequency. The term is common in technical writing, research reports, journalism, and everyday language when discussing comparative frequencies.

Note: As with many German adjectives, the exact ending of häufiges, häufiger, or häufigsten depends on the noun it modifies and the determiner used.
