económiques

Econòmiques is the feminine plural form of the Catalan adjective econòmic, meaning related to the economy or to economics. It is used to describe feminine plural nouns and agrees with gender and number in Catalan grammar. The corresponding forms are econòmic (masculine singular), econòmics (masculine plural), and econòmica (feminine singular).

In everyday and specialized language, econòmiques appears in contexts such as economics, public policy, and business. Common examples include dades econòmiques (economic data), polítiques econòmiques (economic policies), variables econòmiques (economic variables), and situacions econòmiques (economic situations). The word helps specify aspects of the economy when the noun it modifies is feminine and plural.

Origin and relation to other forms: econòmic derives from Latin oeconomicus, through Romance languages such as French and Catalan. In Catalan, adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in both gender and number, so feminine plural nouns take econòmiques.

Geographic and usage notes: econòmiques is widely used in Catalan-speaking regions, including Catalonia, the Valencian Community, and the Balearic Islands, as well as in Catalan-language media, academia, and government texts. It is a standard term in discussions of economic theory, policy, and statistics, and appears alongside its masculine and feminine counterparts to maintain grammatical agreement.
