prozentualen

Prozentual is a German adjective describing something expressed as a percentage or relating to proportion. The form prozentualen is an inflected ending used in specific grammatical cases, often after a definite article or in phrases with plural nouns. It appears in phrases such as mit prozentualen Schwankungen or den prozentualen Anteil.

In usage, prozentual is common in statistics, economics, and scientific writing to convey relative shares, changes, or distributions. It emphasizes the relationship to a percentage rather than merely stating an absolute value. For example, der prozentuale Anteil der Frauen an der Bevölkerung beträgt 52 Prozent (the percentage share of women is 52 percent). The adjective also combines with different noun genders and cases, yielding forms such as der prozentuale Anteil (nominative masculine singular), die prozentuale Veränderung (nominative feminine singular), das prozentuale Wachstum (nominative neuter singular), den prozentualen Anteil (accusative masculine singular), mit prozentualen Schwankungen (dative plural), and in prozentualen Größenordnungen (dative plural).

Grammatical note: prozentualen is the declined form used in certain cases (e.g., accusative masculine singular, dative plural). Other forms include prozentual, prozentuale, and prozentuales, which adapt to gender, number, and case. In everyday language, many speakers prefer in Prozent for exact values, while prozentualen and related forms are common when describing proportional relationships or changes.

Related terms include Prozentsatz (percentage rate), Prozentrechnung (percent calculation), and Anteil (share). The word prozentual is the standard adjective; prozentualen is its declined form used in context.
