logischer

Logischer is the comparative form of the German adjective logisch, meaning logical or reasoned. In everyday usage, it is used when drawing a comparison between two or more things in terms of logical soundness or coherence. The form also appears as an attributive adjective in various declensions, where its ending changes according to gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. For example, in masculine nominative singular you can encounter ein logischer Beweis (a logical proof), while in feminine nominative singular the corresponding form is eine logische Folgerung (a logical consequence).

Etymology and related forms follow the standard pattern for German adjectives derived from nouns such as Logik (logic). The base adjective logisch comes from the Greek logos via Latin and German linguistic development. The comparative suffix -er yields logischer, while the superlative is am logischsten.

Usage notes:

- Comparative: Dieses Argument ist logischer als jenes. (This argument is more logical than that one.)

- Attributive examples: ein logischer Beweis, zwei logische Schlüsse, meine logischen Gedankengänge. The endings reflect the gender, number, and case of the noun: masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, and whether a determiner is present.

- Superlative: am logischsten (most logical).

In philosophy, linguistics, and everyday German, logischer commonly conveys that reasoning adheres to principles of logic or appears more coherent relative to alternatives. It is distinct from related terms such as logisch (the positive form) and Logik (the discipline of logic).
