strängiger

Strängiger is not a standard lexical item in German or in most Germanic-language dictionaries. In conventional German, the adjective streng (strict) forms the comparative as strenger and the superlative as am strengsten. The spelling strängiger would be considered nonstandard or incorrect in formal German, and it does not appear as an accepted lemma in major reference works.

Possible origins and interpretations

The form strängiger may arise from misspelling, typographical error, or influence from other languages that use umlauts or different inflection patterns. In Swedish, for example, the corresponding adjective sträng means strict, and the comparative is strängare; in Germanized contexts, a writer might inadvertently render a Swedish form as strängiger. Because strängiger is not attested as a recognized German word, its meaning is unclear without context and should be treated as a likely nonstandard form or error.

Usage guidance

In formal writing, avoid strängiger and use the standard German forms strenger or am strengsten depending on the sentence. If strängiger appears in a text, consider it a probable mistake or a proper noun (e.g., a surname or brand name) rather than a genuine German adjective.
