tydeligere

Tydeligere is the comparative form of the Norwegian adjective tydelig, meaning more clear or more evident. The term is used to describe something that is easier to understand, more easily perceived, or more conspicuous than another thing.

Form and grammar. In Norwegian, adjectives have comparative forms by adding the suffix -ere, as in tydelig → tydeligere. The form is used across gender and number when comparing two or more items, for example: “Denne forklaringen er tydeligere enn den forrige” and “Grafen blir tydeligere over tid.” The corresponding superlative is tydeligst (with definite forms such as den tydeligste). Both Bokmål and Nynorsk generally use tydeligere and tydeligst in comparable contexts.

Usage notes. Tydeligere emphasizes clarity of expression, interpretation, or appearance. It can refer to something that becomes easier to grasp, more visually discernible, or more logically straightforward. Depending on context, synonyms like klarere may be preferred when the focus is on understanding, while tydeligere often highlights overall visibility or explicitness. The choice between tydelig and tydeligere can affect nuance: tydelig describes clarity itself, while tydeligere points to a relative increase in clarity.

See also. Related forms include tydelig (the positive form), tydeligst (superlative), and the synonym klarere, which conveys greater clarity in understanding or explanation. The root tydel- connects to the Norwegian verb tydne/tyde in senses related to interpretation or indication.
