appreciation is referring to an increase in the value of an economys currency compared to another currency.
depreciation is simply the opposite.
inflation is an increase in the general level of prices over a period of time... deflation will be the opposite.

appreciation and depreciation can be used for any relative price.
So for instance you can say that the bread price has appreciated.
But it s a rare use. It s just to say that all prices are relatives, they are exchange rates (the price of the bread is its exchange rate with other goods)
