Trends & Statistics Vocabulary

పోకడలు మరియు గణాంక పదజాలం

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. Telugu builds its own trend-nouns out of movement verbs too, just with a different suffix doing the work.

Grammar Comparison

వ్యాకరణ పోలిక

Trend nouns are nominalized movement verbs

German

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

Telugu

పెరుగుదల (the rise, from పెరుగు) / తగ్గుదల (the decline, from తగ్గు)

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. Telugu does the identical thing with its own deverbal noun suffix -దల (-dala), turning పెరుగు ('to increase') into పెరుగుదల ('the increase') and తగ్గు ('to decrease') into తగ్గుదల ('the decrease'). Recognizing the verb hiding inside each trend-noun makes this list far easier to learn than treating each word as arbitrary, in either language.
