tilstrekkeligere

Tilstrekkeligere is the comparative form of the Norwegian adjective tilstrekkelig, meaning "sufficient" or "adequate." It is used to compare two things in terms of sufficiency, indicating that one is more adequate than the other.

Formation and variants: In Bokmål, tilstrekkeligere is formed by adding the comparative suffix -ere to tilstrekkelig. The corresponding superlative is tilstrekkeligst. In some nynorsk varieties or dialects you may encounter variant spellings such as tilstrekkeligare, depending on orthographic standards.

Usage notes: The word signals a higher degree of sufficiency but remains a relative judgment. It is appropriate when a threshold is met to a greater degree than another option. It is not always interchangeable with phrases like "mer enn nødvendig" (more than necessary). Example: "Dette budsjettet er tilstrekkeligere enn det forrige." Example with a superlative: "Dette er den tilstrekkeligste løsningen." In everyday language, speakers may choose simpler expressions (for example, "tilstrekkelig" or "mer enn tilstrekkelig") depending on context.
