Inflation is like when everyone suddenly decides to raise the price of things you buy. It can feel sudden because it's often caused by something like a big event, maybe a lot of people want to buy a certain product at once, or there aren't enough of them around. This makes prices go up quickly, and that’s what we call sudden inflation.
Examples
- Bread prices jump suddenly because everyone wants to buy bread at the same time.
- Toys cost more right before Christmas due to increased demand and fewer supplies.
