Erityisnousu

Erityisnousu is a Finnish noun that denotes an exceptional or targeted increase in a value, such as money, wages, pensions, or other resources. The term is used mainly in formal or technical contexts to describe a rise that is not part of the regular or general increase but is granted for specific reasons or groups.

Etymology and formation: it is a compound built from erityinen, meaning special or particular, and nousu, meaning rise or increase. As a compound, it reflects the notion of a distinct, policy-driven, or ad hoc enhancement rather than a routine adjustment.

Usage and contexts: the expression appears in financial reports, policy documents, and academic discussions about adjustment mechanisms or targeted support. It is less common in everyday language and is often found where precise descriptions of monetary or resource-related changes are required.

Policy and economic sense: in wage or social policy discussions, eritys nousu can refer to a one-time or ongoing increase granted to a specific subset of recipients, such as employees in a certain sector, retirees, or low-income households, separate from general indexation or across-the-board raises. The exact terms and conditions—such as eligibility, duration, and funding—depend on the particular policy or agreement in question.
