ungerechtfertigter

Ungerechtiger is not a standard standalone term in standard German. It is typically viewed as a nonstandard inflected form or a misspelling, and it does not appear in reputable dictionaries as a fixed word. In practice, speakers would either intend another word or use a correct adjective form depending on the meaning.

If the intent is the adjective meaning “unjust,” the standard form is ungerecht, with attributive endings following normal declension. Common correct phrases include ein ungerechter Vorwurf, ein ungerechter Anspruch oder der ungerechte Umgang. The phrase ungerechtfertigt, on the other hand, functions as the base for “unjustified,” with its attributive form being ungerechtfertigter (as in ein ungerechtfertigter Verdacht). The adverbial use is ungerechtfertigt.

The term ungerechtiger could also be a mistaken attempt at the comparative of ungerecht, which in standard German is rarely used; if one intends to express a higher degree of injustice, the usual comparative is ungerechter or, in some contexts, the construction of a phrase rather than a separate word. Another related form is Unberechtigter, a common noun meaning an unauthorized or not entitled person, which is unrelated to ungerecht.

In summary, ungerechtiger is not a recognized standard term. Correct equivalents to convey related meanings are ungerecht (unjust), ungerechter (comparative, more unjust, depending on usage), ungerechtfertigter (unjustified, attributive masculine singular), ungerechtfertigt (unjustified, adverbial). Distinctions among these forms reflect differences in meaning (unjust vs. unjustified) and in grammatical role (adjective vs. noun). See also Ungerechtigkeit and Unberechtigter for related concepts.
