vollere

Vollere is a grammatical form rather than a standalone word with a fixed definition in most dictionaries. In German, vollere functions as the comparative form of the adjective voll, meaning “more full” or “more complete.” It is used to compare two or more entities in terms of fullness or completeness.

Usage and examples

In standard German, vollere can appear before feminine singular nouns or in contexts where the adjective carries a comparative meaning with a definite article. Examples include phrases such as die vollere Torte (the fuller cake) or eine vollere Version (a fuller version). The form may also appear in plural contexts where a comparison involves several items. In everyday speech, the more common, simpler comparative voll is often chosen, but vollere remains correct in contexts emphasizing a greater degree of fullness.

Morphology and context

German adjectives inflect according to gender, number, case, and article. The ending -ere signals the comparative degree in certain feminine-singular and related constructions, especially when paired with determiners or in stylistic wording. As with many German inflections, exact endings can vary with article type (definite, indefinite) and sentence role.

Etymology

Voll is a native Germanic adjective meaning “full.” The comparative suffix -ere developed in the history of Germanic languages and remains a productive form in modern German for expressive or emphatic comparison.
