dinàmic

Dinàmic is the Catalan adjective and noun that corresponds to the English term dynamic. It designates something that involves change, activity, or motion, or that relates to energy or forces. The word derives from the Greek dynamikos, through Latin and the Romance language tradition, and is cognate with similar terms in other languages such as dinámico or dynamique.

In usage, dinàmic appears across many disciplines. In science and engineering, it describes systems and processes that evolve over time, as in sistemes dinàmics or la dinàmica dels efectes forces. In mathematics and physics, the term is connected to the study of motion, change, and dependence on time. In everyday language, it can characterize events, organizations, or methods as lively or constantly changing.

In information technology and computing, dinàmic is common in phrases such as tipatge dinàmic (dynamic typing), memòria dinàmica (dynamic memory allocation), and contingut dinàmic or pàgines web dinàmiques (dynamic web pages), where content is generated or modified at run time rather than pre-stored.
