reflation
the price of things has risen while your salary did not, meaning you have lesser number of items you can buy with the money you have as compared to what you could have bought before inflation.
Money itself, as it is used in today, is an idea only. When money isn't backed by something solid it is less valuable than previously and causes things to cost more because of the lack of solidity of the money as it is only an idea and everyone is trying to capture the idea and make it concrete. Perhaps also because if there is more money in circulation in theory people have more money to spend, therefore they can afford to spend more.
One problem with inflation is redistribution. Inflation makes some people better off while it makes others worse off. The three things that cause redistribution are price effects, wealth effects, and income effects.
Inflation affects low income earners more than high income earners. This is because low income earners' income tends not to rise as quickly as prices, therefore, their purchasing power decreases. Also, low income earners do not have the skills to demand higher wages. It should be noted that high inflation generally leads to interest rate increases. This affects low income earners' cost of living and compounds the other affects of inflation. So, inflation decreases purchasing power of low income earners relative to high income earners, whose income increase as quick as inflation. Ultimately, income distribution becomes less equal.
The real wage is the amount of money paid when adjusted for inflation. This wage will rise if the nominal wage rises.

Interest and inflation are related in one, main way, and that is through the fluctuation of available money. If the Fed decides that they are going to produce more paper money, then the average person will have more purchasing power, thus spend more on things they wouldn't normally. Because of the increase in money, in order to keep up businesses raise prices, thus causing inflation. Interest comes in to play because when inflation occurs, lenders want more money to be able to keep up with inflation. Because of this, they raise their interest prices to gain more money on their return. ***when the inflation rate rises, so does the items, including money barrowed by individuals or companies.
I think it will. Because as we go by the actual procedure, when RBI cuts the CRR rate, the liquidity in the market rises and thereby the banks' lending capacity to the individuals and institutions also rises. Thus the purchasing power in goods, commodities and stock markets will increase and so will the inflation.

A good description of "inflation" is an increase in prices and a fall in the value of money. Inflation is usually represented as a percentage increase for one month over the same month the previous year. Double-digit inflation is when this percentage is greater than 10%. If inflation rises even more than 100% (i.e. prices are twice s high as last year) it is usually called "hyper-inflation".
The first answer is self-explanatory. If consumers THINK a good will go up in price, then that good has a high expected inflation. Whether or not it actually does is it's actual inflation.This matters in the Phillips Curve mainly when dealing with businesses. Basically, if a business thinks it's costs are going to increase (inflation), it might not hire more people or might even lay people off to save money. Thus, as expected inflation rises, unemployment rises, just like the Curve says it would.
inflation!
The general price of goods and services rises.
yesss, true.
