Peningkatannya

Peningkatannya is a possessive form in Indonesian that means “its increase” or “the increase of it.” It is built from the noun peningkatan, which denotes an increase or improvement, plus the suffix -nya that marks possession or association with a previously mentioned subject. The word is commonly used in formal and semi-formal writing to refer to how much a particular variable has risen.

Etymology and morphology: The base peningkatan comes from tingkat (level, rate) with the affixes pe- and -an to form a noun that expresses the process of increasing or improving. The suffix -nya attaches to indicate ownership or relevance to a specific referent, yielding peningkatannya to mean “its increase” or “the increase of it.” The exact antecedent is usually clear from context.

Usage: Peningkatannya appears most often in reports, analyses, and discussions where a measurable change is being described. It typically functions as a subject or object within a sentence. For example: “Peningkatannya terlihat pada grafik penjualan.” (“The increase is evident in the sales chart.”) or “Peningkatannya terhadap pendapatan rumah tangga dipengaruhi oleh kebijakan fiskal.” (“Its increase in household income is influenced by fiscal policy.”)

Nuance: The referent of -nya must be identifiable from the surrounding text; otherwise, the sentence can become ambiguous. Peningkatannya also can be contrasted with peningkatan (the increase itself) when the emphasis is on the process rather than on a particular instance.
