覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
warm「暖かい」に比較級語尾 -er を付けた形で、「より暖かい」を表す。語末の e を残してそのまま -r を足し、発音は /ˈwɔːrmər/。warmer than yesterday の than を伴う比較と、a warmer coat のように比較対象を明示しない用法をセットで覚える。名詞なら「保温器」の意味もあるが、ここでは形容詞。
Warmer is the comparative form of warm. Since warm already ends in e, add only -r in spelling: warm, warmer. It means “more warm” in relation to something else, not simply “warm.” Learn the explicit pattern warmer than yesterday and the contextual pattern a warmer coat, where the unstated comparison is with another coat. It can describe weather, rooms, clothing, water, or people’s bodies. Although warmer can also be a noun for a device that keeps something warm, the examples use it as an adjective.
例文
Today is warmer than yesterday.
今日は昨日より暖かいです。
This room is warmer than the hall.
この部屋は廊下より暖かいです。
I need a warmer coat for the trip.
旅行にはもっと暖かいコートが必要です。

warmer の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 wearm（暖かい）の比較級で、ゲルマン祖語 *warmaz に遡る。さらにラテン語 formus（温かい）やギリシャ語 thermos（熱い）とも印欧祖語で繋がる。関連語に warmth（温かさ）、lukewarm（生ぬるい）がある。体温や気候の心地よい熱を表す基本語。
Warmer consists of warm plus the comparative ending -er. Warm descends from Old English wearm and belongs to an old Germanic family of words referring to moderate heat. Related forms include warmth and the compound lukewarm. The comparative suffix -er is inherited from Old English and remains the normal way to compare many short adjectives. The spelling adds only r because warm already ends in e, producing warmer, “having a higher temperature or providing more warmth.”
