Strenger

The word "Strenger" is a German adjective meaning "stricter," "more severe," or "more rigorous." It is the comparative form of the adjective "streng" (strict, severe, rigorous).

In German grammar, adjectives are declined, meaning their endings change depending on their grammatical function within a sentence (gender, number, and case of the noun they modify). "Strenger" would typically be used to describe a masculine noun in the nominative case, a feminine or neuter noun in the genitive or dative case, or as a predicate adjective after a linking verb. It can also be used with other nouns, regardless of case, when preceded by the article "der," "die," or "das" (the definite articles).

Beyond its literal translation, "strenger" can also imply a higher degree of discipline, control, or enforcement compared to something already strict. It can refer to rules, laws, punishments, or even personal character traits. The nuance often depends on the context in which it is used.
