뜻
To be increasing in quantity or frequency.
문화적 배경
The phrase is central to the 'carovita' discourse. Italians are very sensitive to price increases in basic goods like bread and coffee. Italian news (TG) uses this phrase constantly to report on Istat data, making it a very 'journalistic' sounding phrase. In the 'piazza', this phrase is often used with a sigh to express frustration with modern life. With climate change, 'temperature in aumento' has become a standard summer phrase in every household.
Use with Adverbs
Make your Italian sound more natural by adding 'netto' (sharp) or 'lieve' (slight) after 'aumento'.
Preposition Alert
Never say 'in aumentO DI qualcosa' if you mean the thing itself is rising. Say 'I prezzi sono in aumento', not 'C'è un aumento di prezzi' (though the latter is grammatically okay, it's a different structure).
