Suurenedes

Suurenedes is an Estonian term used to describe quantities, trends, or processes that grow over time. In everyday language it denotes enlarging or intensifying change, and in technical contexts it corresponds to the idea of increasing or non-decreasing growth.

Etymology and usage: The word stems from the root suur- meaning big and serves as a participial or descriptive form indicating ongoing increase. It can appear in phrases describing a process or trend, and it functions as an attribute in sentences such as “suurenedes trend” or “suurenedes kasv.” In scientific and mathematical texts, suurenedes is used to convey the notion of growth, though more formal terminology such as kasvav or monotoonne kasv is also common.

In mathematics and statistics: Suurenedes describes sequences or functions that rise over time. A sequence is considered increasing if its terms do not decrease as the index grows, typically phrased in Estonian literature as a growing or non-decreasing trend. The term helps characterize data series, production levels, or other measurements that exhibit upward movement.

In other fields: The term appears in economics, ecology, and demography to describe rising quantities, such as population, prices, or resource consumption, especially in analyses, forecasts, or discussions of trend behavior.
