tragfähigeren

Tragfähigeren is the inflected comparative form of the German adjective tragfähig, meaning capable of bearing load or load-bearing. It is used to indicate that one object has a higher load-bearing capacity than another. The base combines tragen (to bear) and fähig (able), and the comparative is formed with the suffix -er. Depending on grammar, the form tragfähigeren appears in different inflectional patterns, notably after definite articles and in plural contexts.

In practice, tragfähigeren occurs in phrases such as:

- Die tragfähigeren Brückenpfeiler mussten geprüft werden. (plural nominative with definite article)

- Wir wählten die tragfähigeren Materialien für das Fundament. (plural accusative with definite article)

- Mit dem tragfähigeren Untergrund ist die Statik sicherer. (dative singular masculine)

- Tragfähigere Materialien werden bevorzugt. (plural without article)

Usage and domain:

The term is primarily used in engineering, construction and architectural contexts to compare resources, foundations, or structures by their relative capacity to carry loads. It conveys a qualitative assessment rather than an absolute measurement, and is typically found in technical reports, specifications, and design discussions. Grammatically, tragfähigeren is one form among several inflections of the comparative adjective trajfähig, which also includes tragfähiger (masculine singular or general comparative) and am tragfähigsten (superlative).

Notes:

Tragfähigeren is not a standalone noun; it is a declined adjectival form that modifies a noun. In everyday language, speakers often prefer the base comparative tragfähiger or the standard form tragfähige, depending on the noun’s gender, number, and case.
