talmæssige

Talmæssige is a Danish adjective that translates to numerical, literal, or quantitative. It is used to describe something that is related to numbers, quantities, or literal interpretation. The word originates from the Danish word "tal," meaning number or figure.

In a general context, talmæssige can refer to anything that can be expressed in numbers or figures. For example, "talmæssige oplysninger" would mean numerical information or data. It can also be used to emphasize the exactness or literal meaning of something, as opposed to a figurative or abstract interpretation. If someone asks for a "talmæssige forklaring," they are requesting a precise, number-based explanation.

The adjective is often employed in academic, scientific, or statistical discussions where precision and quantitative data are important. For instance, a study might present "talmæssige resultater" (numerical results), or a report might discuss "talmæssige ændringer" (quantitative changes). In everyday language, it can be used to contrast a literal understanding with a more nuanced one, such as distinguishing between "talmæssige værdier" (literal values) and "symbolske værdier" (symbolic values). Its usage underscores the importance of factual, quantifiable aspects of a subject.
