"I have less and less time for reading."

Translation: Ich habe immer weniger Zeit zum Lesen.

[pnique]

shouldn't this be an akusativ: 'wenige'?

[christian]

No, "weniger" is in the comparative degree.

That's it :) thank you!

[Timberhawk]

If it's comparative, would "wenigere" be more appropriate to agree with "Zeit"?

[christian]

No, "less and less" is different from just "less".

"Intensifiers: to indicate a progressive development, English repeats the comparative ("Things are getting better and better"). German can do that ("Es wird kälter und kälter") or, more usually, use "immer": "Es wird immer besser.""

Then why not "wenigere"?

[shiningcat]

What is Zum the contraction of?

[rkaup]

zu dem

[augustmtskipper]

Why 'zum' und nicht 'fur'?

[xjorgex]
