trockenere

Trockenere is a German adjective form that represents the comparative degree of trocken, meaning drier. It is used to compare dryness between nouns and is most common with feminine or neuter singular nouns, though its exact ending varies with the article and case.

In attributive use, trockenere appears before the noun. Examples include phrases such as eine trockenere Landschaft (a drier landscape), die trockenere Jahreszeit (the drier season), and das trockenere Klima (the drier climate). With a definite article, the form is die trockenere Landschaft or das trockenere Klima; with an indefinite article, a trockenere Landschaft is also possible. For masculine nouns, the corresponding comparative form is typically trocken(er)er Tag in contexts where a masculine noun is being compared.

Trockenere is not a separate lexical item with a distinct meaning beyond the comparative inflection of trocken; it functions as a standard inflected adjective in German grammar. It appears in contexts where dryness or aridity is being contrasted, such as climate descriptions, agricultural discussions, architectural planning, and weather reporting.

Etymology and related forms: trocken is the base adjective meaning dry; the suffix -er marks the comparative degree in German, with further inflection depending on gender, article, and case. Related terms include Trockenheit (dryness), trocken (dry), and Klima (climate).
