niedrigere

Niedrigere is the comparative form of the German adjective niedrig, meaning lower or more low. It is used to compare two or more items along a dimension such as height, level, amount, or intensity. The form is declined to agree with the noun it modifies, so it appears differently depending on gender and number. In practice, nied­rigere can appear with feminine singular nouns (eine niedrigere Temperatur) and with plural nouns (niedrigere Preise), among other combinations. The masculine singular form is niedriger, and the neuter singular form is niedrigeres; the precise ending depends on the article and the noun.

Common usage involves expressing that something is at a lower level than another thing or than a previous state. For example, lower temperatures, lower prices, or lower quantities can be described as niedrigere. It is frequently used in everyday speech as well as in journalism and formal writing when comparing two or more items.

Usage notes:

- It is the attributive, inflected form used in comparisons.

- The ending changes with the noun’s gender, number, and case, so forms can vary (e.g., eine niedrigere Temperatur, niedrigere Preise, die niedrigeren Werte).

Niedrigere thus serves as a standard tool in German for indicating a reduced magnitude or level in comparison to another reference point.
