ljudligare

Ljudligare is a Swedish adjective meaning louder or more audible. It is the comparative form of the adjective ljudlig, which describes something related to sound or audible qualities. In Swedish, many adjectives form the comparative by adding a suffix such as -are, and for lj ig this yields ljudligare. The construction is used to express that one sound or auditory experience has greater loudness than another.

Usage and meaning: Ljudligare is used to compare two or more sounds, voices, or sets of noise. It can describe both concrete sounds, such as music or speech, and more abstract levels of audibility or prominence in a given environment. The word functions both attributively (before a noun) and predicatively (after a linking verb).

Examples:

- Volymen höjdes och ljudet blev ljudligare.

- Den nya högtalaren gör ljudet ljudligare än den gamla modellen.

- Rösten blev ljudligare när publiken började applådera.

Etymology and related forms: Ljudlige stems from ljud (sound) plus the suffix -lig, with the comparative suffix -are producing ljudligare. The positive form is ljudlig; related terms include ljud och ljudnivå, which refer to sound and level of sound, respectively.
