umfassendere

Umfassendere is the attributive comparative form of the German adjective umfassen/umfassend. It expresses that something is more comprehensive or all-encompassing than another thing. The exact ending of umfas­sendere depends on gender, case, and the article or determiner used with the noun it modifies.

In practice, umfas­sendere is used to compare scope, breadth, or inclusiveness. Examples include: eine umfassendere Lösung (feminine singular), ein umfassenderer Plan (masculine singular), ein umfassenderes System (neuter singular), and umfassendere Lösungen (plural). The form is common in formal, analytical, or evaluative contexts, such as reports, analyses, and policy discussions.

Etymologically, umfas­send derives from umfassen meaning “to encompass, to cover.” The comparative suffix -er yields umfas­sendere, while accompanying determiner and noun inflections determine the precise spelling. Semantically, umfas­sendere conveys a broader or deeper degree of coverage than the base form umfassen­de.

Usage notes: umfas­sendere is closely related to other comparative expressions such as breiter, weiter, and umfangreicher, which emphasize different aspects of scope or scale. While suitable in neutral prose, it can carry a slightly evaluative tone, signaling a judgement that the new subject covers more aspects or details than the reference.
