svårare

Svårare is a Swedish adjective used to express that something is more difficult than something else. It is the comparative form of svår, which means difficult or hard. The form is used when comparing two or more items or situations.

In usage, svårare typically modifies a noun or noun phrase in a sentence that includes a comparison word such as än (than). Examples: "Den här uppgiften är svårare än den förra" and "Det här provet var svårare än väntat." The corresponding superlative is svårast, as in "Det var det svåraste testet jag någonsin tog." The word can describe tasks, problems, or conditions across different contexts, from education to daily life.

Etymology: svårare derives from the Swedish adjective svår, and is related to cognates in other Germanic languages that carry a similar meaning of hardness or difficulty. In Scandinavian languages there are related forms such as Norwegian svær and Danish svær, which reflect common roots for the idea of hardness or severity.
