Verifiëerbaar

Verifiëerbaar is a Dutch adjective that translates to verifiable in English. It describes something that can be proven true or confirmed through evidence or examination. When a statement, claim, or piece of information is verifiëerbaar, it means that its accuracy can be checked and validated. This is a fundamental principle in many fields, including science, journalism, and law, where the ability to verify information is crucial for establishing credibility and trust. For example, a scientific claim is considered verifiëerbaar if it can be tested through experiments and yield consistent results. In journalism, a report is verifiëerbaar if its sources can be corroborated and its facts confirmed by independent investigation. The concept of verifiëerbaarheid is closely linked to the idea of objectivity and the pursuit of truth. Information that is not verifiëerbaar is often considered unreliable or speculative.
