Sagt aus, dass etwas höher geworden ist oder zugenommen hat.
The German word "gestiegen" is the past participle of the verb "steigen", which means "to rise," "to climb," or "to increase."
- steigen = to rise/climb/increase
- gestiegen = risen/climbed/increased (used in perfect tense)
Similar words include:
- ansteigen (to increase, to rise)
- erhöhen (to raise, to increase)
- wachsen (to grow)
Difference:
While "steigen" and its participle "gestiegen" mainly focus on an upward movement or increase often in a physical or measurable sense (e.g., prices, temperatures), "erhöhen" implies an active raising or making higher by someone, and "wachsen" emphasizes natural growth or expansion rather than just an increase.
