Komprenebla

Komprenebla is an Esperanto adjective meaning able to be understood or comprehensible. It is formed from the verb kompreni, “to understand,” together with the derivational suffix -ebla, which marks a property that can be realized. The term is commonly used to describe texts, explanations, instructions, or arguments that can be readily understood by the intended audience.

Grammatical notes: In Esperanto, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number. Thus, komprenebla teksto (singular), kompreneblaj tekstoj (plural). The adverbial form is kompreneble, used to describe how something is done, for example: “Mi klarigis la koncepton kompreneble.”

Usage: Komprenebla ofte estas atendata en edukado, lernolibroj, gazetoj and interretaj instrukcioj. It signals that content avoids unnecessary jargon, long sentences, or obscure referents, making information accessible to a broad range of readers. It can describe both written and spoken material: “La prelego estis tre komprenebla,” or “La instrukcio estas komprenebla por komencantoj.”

Opposite: malkomprenebla indicates something that is incomprehensible or difficult to understand.
