vergleichbarere

vergleichbarere is a German adjective form derived from vergleichbar, meaning "comparable." In linguistic terms it represents the comparative degree of vergleichbar and is used to indicate that one thing is more capable of being compared than another.

Morphology and usage. The form vergleichbarere appears in feminine singular nominative and accusative when the noun is preceded by a definite article, as in die vergleichbarere Frau. It can also occur with an indefinite article in the same gender: eine vergleichbarere Frau. In other grammatical genders and numbers, corresponding forms exist: vergleichbarerer for masculine nominative singular, vergleichbareres for neuter, and comparison in plural typically yields vergleichbareren (e.g., die vergleichbareren Eigenschaften). In contexts without a determiner, other declension patterns may apply, but vergleichbarere is most commonly seen with feminine singular or as part of plural forms in changed endings.

Examples. A typical sentence is: Eine vergleichbarere Methode könnte zu genaueren Ergebnissen führen. Another example: Die vergleichbareren Kriterien erleichtern die Beurteilung. These constructions emphasize that one item has a greater degree of comparability than another.

Etymology and relation. vergleichbarere is formed by adding the standard comparative suffix to vergleichbar and adjusting the ending to match gender, number, and case. It is related to other inflected forms of vergleichbar and to the broader German system of adjective declension and comparison. It is not a separate lexical item beyond its role as the inflected comparative form of vergleichbar.
