jährliches

Jährliches is the inflected form of the German adjective jährlich, meaning annual or yearly. It is used to describe nouns that relate to a year or occur on a yearly basis. The form عمليات reflects German adjective declension and appears especially in attributive position before a noun.

Grammar and usage

In German, the ending of jährlich changes with the presence or absence of a determiner and with the noun’s gender and number. The neuter singular strong form, used when no determiner is present, is jährliches, as in jährliches Budget or jährliches Einkommen. With a definite article, the ending changes to the weaker form, for example das jährliche Budget. In plural contexts, you typically see jährliche Berichte, e.g., die jährlichen Berichte. The word is not a noun itself but an adjective that modifies a noun.

Common contexts

Jährliches is widely used in business, finance, and formal writing to describe annual measures, reports, budgets, or events. Examples include das jährliche Budget (the annual budget), das jährliche Einkommen (the annual income), and die jährlichen Berichte (the annual reports). It is often contrasted with jährlich (as an adverb meaning annually) or with Jahres- compounds that also convey yearly timing.

Etymology

Jährlich derives from Jahr (year) plus the suffix -lich, indicating relation or relevance. The form jährliches reflects standard German declension rules for adjectives in the neuter singular strong form.
