Élesebb

élesebb is a Hungarian adjective, the comparative form of éles, meaning sharp, pointed, acute, or keen. It denotes greater sharpness or acuity than something else, and it can describe both physical properties and figurative qualities. In everyday use, élesebb signals a noticeable increase in sharpness, precision, or perceptiveness.

The word is formed with the suffix -ebb, which is used to create comparative adjectives in Hungarian. It conforms to normal adjective behavior and can be used with both masculine and neuter nouns, as well as in predicative constructions. For example, ez a kés élesebb, mint az előző modell (this knife is sharper than the previous model), vagy Ő élesebb eszű, mint a többiek (he/she is keener/smarter than the others). Élesebb látása hozzájárulhat a gyorsabb döntéshozatalhoz, illustrating a figurative use of sharpness.

Common collocations include élesebb kés, élesebb ész/ész, és élesebb látás. The comparative form is generally opposed to legélesebb for the superlative: legélesebb means the sharpest or keenest. While élesebb can describe tangible objects like tools and blades, it is frequently employed metaphorically to express heightened mental acuity, perception, or analytical sharpness.
