leuker

Leuker is the comparative form of the Dutch adjective leuk, meaning enjoyable, pleasant, or fun. It is used to express that something is more enjoyable or nicer than something else.

In Dutch, the comparative is typically formed by adding the suffix -er to the adjective. Leuker is used with the word dan to compare two things: Deze film is leuker dan die andere. In everyday speech leuk can also mean "cool" or "great," so leuker can convey the sense of "cooler" in informal contexts.

The corresponding superlative is leukste, used with the definite article: de leukste film, het leukste idee. For example: Dat was de leukste dag van mijn vakantie.

Usage notes: Leuk is a common, positive descriptor in informal contexts. It does not imply strong or formal praise, and speakers may choose stronger synonyms (such as fantastisch or geweldig) when a higher degree of excitement is desired. The word also appears in various regional and slang expressions, where nuance may shift toward casual or playful meaning.
