getalachtig

Getalachtig is a Dutch adjective that translates to "numerical" or "numeric" in English. It is used to describe things that are related to numbers, consist of numbers, or can be expressed in terms of numbers. The term is often employed in contexts where a distinction needs to be made between abstract concepts and their quantifiable representations. For instance, one might speak of "getalachtige informatie" (numerical information) to refer to data presented in figures or statistics, as opposed to qualitative descriptions.

The adjective can also imply a quality of being number-like or having characteristics associated with numbers. This might include precision, orderliness, or a systematic arrangement. In a more abstract sense, "getalachtig" can suggest a focus on quantity over other attributes. It is a relatively straightforward term, primarily serving to specify the numerical aspect of a subject. Its usage is generally confined to the Dutch language and does not have a widely recognized direct equivalent in many other languages, though the concept itself is universal.
