Questions & Answers about Het licht van dit model is veel helderder.
Why is there an extra "d" in helderder?
The base adjective is helder, which means "bright" or "clear". Normally, you add -er to make a comparative word (like "brighter"). But in Dutch, if the adjective already ends in an -r, you add -der instead to make it easier to pronounce. So, helder becomes helderder.
Why is it "dit model" and not "deze model"?
Model is a neuter noun (het model). For het words, the word for "this" is dit. If it were a de word, you would use deze.
Can helder only mean "bright"?
No, helder can mean "bright" (like a light or a screen), but it is also commonly used to mean "clear" (like clear water, a clear sky, or a clear explanation).
Why is "veel" used here instead of "erg" or "zeer"?
Just like in English, you use veel (much) to emphasize a comparative adjective. You say "much brighter" (veel helderder), not "very brighter" (erg helderder).
