risen prices and worrying situation?

[keannu]

Do the below work?

ex1) risen prices - Does only rising prices work? I think risen also works as it means the result of the prices that went higher.
ex2) a worrying situation - It sounds weird, I have never heard of it, maybe it works. Found in a grammar book.

1) We would say prices were raised, not risen.
2) Yes, it's OK

Can you say raised prices? How would you say for the adjective before prices? A worrying situation sounds the situation is worried about something as if it were personalized. I'm not familiar with that, I've learned present participle is describing the noun as an adjective.

I am not a teacher.

I guess you'd have to say "raised prices" if you had to put it adjective-noun, but it is a little odd. I think I would make it "higher prices" to avoid the oddness.

I see your problem with "worrying", but it is normal. We can have a harrowing ordeal (it harrows us), a satisfying outcome (it satisfies us) or a worrying situation (it worries us). Your question is interesting because this use of "worry" seems to revive the ancient meaning somewhat---to strangle, to kill the way a wolf might.
