Inflatoriske

Inflatoriske is a Norwegian adjective used to describe something related to inflation or inflationary pressures. It is the plural form of inflatorisk and is used to modify plural nouns; for example, inflatoriske faktorer means inflationary factors.

Etymology and usage: The term is derived from inflasjon (inflation) with the adjectival suffix -isk. In Norwegian, adjectives agree with number and gender, so inflatorisk becomes inflatoriske for plural or neuter plural nouns. The term is most common in economic discourse, where it describes factors, conditions, or pressures that push the price level upward. It can also be used metaphorically in other domains to refer to forces that cause growth or expansion.

Examples and nuance: Common collocations include inflatoriske faktorer, inflatoriske press, and inflatoriske mekanismer. The term is often used in discussions of inflation dynamics and may be contrasted with deflatoriske or disinflatoriske expressions when describing factors that reduce or counter inflation.
