regelmäßigere

regelmäßigere is the comparative form of the German adjective regelmäßig, meaning more regular or more consistently scheduled. It is used to compare two or more items in terms of their regularity and appears in attributive position before a noun, with its ending adjusted for gender, number, and case.

In German, the endings of attributive adjectives change according to the accompanying article and the noun’s gender and case. For example:

- Without a determiner (strong declension): regelmäßigere Termine (more regular appointments) in plural, nominative or accusative.

- With a definite article (weak declension): der regelmäßigere Termin (the more regular appointment) in masculine singular nominative.

- With an indefinite article (mixed declension) or possessive: eine regelmäßigere Routine (a more regular routine) in feminine singular nominative.

Common usage scenarios include scheduling, routines, or patterns where one item is described as having a higher degree of regularity than another. The form is most often encountered in written or formal contexts, such as planning, logistics, or analyses of timetables.

Related forms include regelmäßig (positive), regelmäßig er (comparative) or am regelmäßigsten (superlative). The construction of regelmäßigere adheres to standard German declension rules: the ending -ere signals a comparative degree in plural or certain singular forms, depending on the determiner and case.

Etymology: regelmäßig derives from Regel (rule) and -mäßig (like, in the manner of), with the comparative suffix -er forming regelmäßigere for more-regular.
