stärkeres

Stärkeres is a form of the German adjective stark used before neuter nouns in the neuter singular with a determiner that does not indicate gender, such as ein or mein. It combines the comparative stem stärker with the neuter singular ending -es. In standard usage it denotes “a stronger” or “a more powerful” relative degree before a neuter noun.

Usage and examples:

- With an indefinite article: ein stärkeres Auto (a stronger/powerful car).

- With a possessive determiner: mein stärkeres Auto (my stronger car).

- With a negation: kein stärkeres Auto (no stronger car).

In contrast, when the definite article is used, the corresponding form is das stärkere Auto (the stronger car), and the ending differs.

Morphology:

- Neuter singular, nominative or accusative: stärkeres Auto / ein stärkeres Auto.

- The form is specific to neuter nouns; masculine or feminine nouns use andere endings (for example, ein stärkerer Mann, eine stärkere Frau).

- The base is the comparative stärker derived from stark, with the neuter ending -es attaching in attributive position after certain determiners.

Related forms and usage:

- Comparative but not neuter: stärker (used without the -es ending when the determiner provides gender/number information).

- Other degrees: the superlative is das stärkste Auto, am stärksten.

- Related adjectives follow the same declension patterns across gender, number, and case.
