wisselvalliger

Wisselvalliger is a Dutch word that translates to more variable, more inconsistent, or more erratic. It is the comparative form of the adjective "wisselvallig," which means variable or inconsistent. The term is often used to describe weather patterns that are unpredictable, with frequent changes in temperature, precipitation, or sunshine. For example, one might say "Het weer is vandaag wisselvalliger dan gisteren" which means "The weather today is more variable than yesterday."

Beyond weather, wisselvalliger can also be applied to describe situations, performance, or behavior that fluctuates significantly. For instance, an athlete's performance might be described as wisselvalliger if they have inconsistent results, showing great skill on some days and less on others. Similarly, a project's progress could be considered wisselvalliger if it experiences frequent delays and advancements. The core meaning remains the idea of a lack of stability or predictability, a marked increase in fluctuations compared to a previous state or a more stable norm. It implies a deviation from a consistent or expected pattern, highlighting uncertainty and unpredictability.
