The government issues official statistics. Still individuals can usually figure it out. If you go to the grocery store and notice prices are rising, that is inflation. If you go to a particular store and notice that a pair of slacks they used to sell for $25 is now $50, that is inflation. When it takes more money to purchase the same amount of merchandise, that is inflation. That means the money you have is becoming worth less and less.
