Trends & Statistics Vocabulary

போக்குகள் மற்றும் புள்ளிவிவர சொற்கள்

Beyond the movement verbs from the graph-description lesson, formal reports lean on a set of nominalized trend-words — the same -ung pattern from B2's nominalization lesson, now applied to statistics.

Grammar Comparison

இலக்கண ஒப்பீடு

Trend nouns are nominalized movement verbs

German

der Anstieg (the rise, from ansteigen) / der Rückgang (the decline, from zurückgehen)

Tamil

உயர்வு (the rise, from உயர்) / சரிவு (the decline, from சரி)

Just as German turns verbs into abstract nouns with -ung (Untersuchung from untersuchen), it builds trend-vocabulary the same way from movement verbs — der Anstieg from ansteigen, der Rückgang from zurückgehen. Tamil does the identical thing with its own noun-forming patterns, turning உயர் ('to rise') into உயர்வு ('the rise'). Recognizing the verb hiding inside each trend-noun makes this list far easier to learn than treating each word as arbitrary.
