Part of Speech: Verb phrase (past tense)

JA

The population of elderly people has increased over the past 10 years.

Etymology

The noun 増加 (zōka) combines the kanji 増 (zō, meaning 'to increase') and 加 (ka, meaning 'to add'). It functions as a verbal noun paired with the auxiliary verb する (to do), with した being the past tense form of する.

Break it down: 増 (zō) sounds like 'zone' — imagine a zone getting bigger; 加 (ka) sounds like 'car' — more cars on the road means increased traffic; した is the past tense 'did', so 'did increase'.
