noggrannare

Noggrannare is the Swedish comparative form of the adjective noggrann, meaning more meticulous, careful, or thorough. It is used to compare the degree of meticulousness between two or more subjects, such as people, processes, or documents. For example, den här rapporten är noggrannare än den förra, meaning this report is more thorough than the previous one. It can describe a person, a task, or a procedure, as in en noggrannare genomgång eller noggrannare kontroller.

In practice, noggrannare can modify a noun directly, as in en noggrannare granskning, or function as a predicate adjective in comparison constructions: den är noggrannare än väntat. In everyday language, many speakers also use mer noggrann (more careful) as an equivalent construction, depending on context and style.

Linguistic notes: The suffix -are is a common way to form comparatives from adjectives in Swedish. The related noun form noggrannhet expresses the quality of meticulousness or thoroughness. The term noggrannare is neutral and widely used in professional, academic, and media contexts to emphasize increased precision or thoroughness relative to another item.
