Durchführbare

Durchführbare is the attributive form of the German adjective durchführbar, meaning feasible, doable, or executable. It is used to describe plans, methods, or solutions that can reasonably be carried out. In everyday language you may encounter phrases such as eine durchführbare Lösung, eine durchführbare Vorgehensweise oder durchführbare Schritte. When used without a noun, the predicate form is durchführbar, as in Das Projekt ist durchführbar.

Etymology and usage context: das Durchführbare is formed from das Durchführen (to carry out) and the suffix -bar, which marks capability. The adjective is declined to agree with the noun it describes: feminine singular nouns take durchführbare, plural forms take durchführbare, and masculine/neuter forms take durchführbares or the corresponding declined ending depending on determiner. In practice, durchführbar is common in technical, business, and policy contexts to indicate practical viability rather than mere possibility.

Related terms and distinctions: The related noun Durchführbarkeit denotes feasibility or practicality and is often used in formal assessments, such as feasibility studies or project planning. Another closely related noun, Durchführung, means execution or implementation, focusing on carrying out the action rather than its viability. The use of durchführbar versus durchführbarkeit can distinguish actionable viability from abstract potential.
