schnelleren

Schnelleren is a German adjective form meaning faster or more quickly. It is the comparative degree of the adjective schnell and is used to express a higher degree of speed in noun phrases where the adjective is declined to agree with the noun and its determiner.

Grammatical use and forms: Schnelleren appears in declined adjective positions when the phrase includes a determiner (such as der, die, das, mein, dein, unser) and the noun is in a case where the ending -eren is required. This form is common in singular masculine accusative (den schnelleren Mann) and in plural phrases (die schnelleren Autos). The exact ending depends on gender, number, and case, and the form can also appear in other cases with different determiners (for example, der schnelleren Frau in the dative feminine). In the comparative, it is paired with a noun to indicate that one item is faster than another.

Examples:

- Den schnelleren Mann habe ich gesehen. (I saw the faster man.)

- Die schnelleren Autos sind teurer als die langsameren. (The faster cars are more expensive than the slower ones.)

- Wir bevorzugen die schnelleren Optionen. (We prefer the faster options.)

Etymology and relation: Schnelleren derives from the base adjective schnell, which means fast. The comparative suffix er forms schnelller, and the declined -eren ending is used when the adjective is inflected in phrases with determiners in various cases. Related forms include schneller (the basic comparative) and schnellsten (the superlative).

Schnelleren is a standard, widely used form in German, encountered in everyday and formal contexts whenever a comparison of speed is expressed with a declined adjective.
