Oppnåelige

oppnåelige is a Norwegian adjective meaning “attainable,” “achievable,” or “realizable.” It describes goals, standards, or outcomes that can be reached through reasonable effort, appropriate resources, or feasible conditions. The term is derived from the verb oppnå (“to achieve, to attain”) combined with the suffix –elige, which forms adjectives indicating capability. In usage, oppnåelige often qualifies objectives in education, business, and personal development, emphasizing that the targets are set within realistic parameters.

In educational contexts, oppnåelige learning outcomes are those that students can reasonably meet given the curriculum, teaching methods, and assessment criteria. The concept supports curricular design that balances ambition with practicality, aiming to motivate learners without setting unattainable standards. In management and project planning, oppnåelige goals refer to milestones that align with available time, budget, and personnel, ensuring that strategic plans remain grounded in operational capacity.

Synonyms include gjennomførbare, mulige, and realistiske, while antonyms such as uoppnåelige denote goals considered impossible or overly ambitious. The term appears in policy documents, academic literature, and everyday speech when discussing feasibility. Its neutral connotation underscores a focus on pragmatic assessment rather than optimism or pessimism, making oppnåelige a key descriptor in discussions of goal setting and performance evaluation.
