Verstellbare

Verstellbare is a German attributive adjective meaning adjustable or capable of being adjusted. It describes objects or components whose position, dimensions, or settings can be altered by a user or by a mechanism. The base form verstellbar is formed from verstellen (to adjust, to move) and the suffix -bar (capable of).

In usage, verstellbare takes different endings depending on gender, number and case of the noun it modifies. Common forms include verstellbare for feminine singular nominative or accusative or plural nominative/accusative nouns; verstellbares for neuter singular; and verstellbarer for masculine singular. For example: eine verstellbare Schraube (feminine singular), verstellbare Regler (plural), ein verstellbares Lenkrad (neuter singular), der verstellbare Stuhl (masculine singular). The exact ending can vary with articles and sentence position, reflecting standard German strong and weak declension patterns.

Typical contexts include product descriptions, manuals, and technical specifications, where parts such as Höhe, Winkel, oder Sitze als verstellbar gekennzeichnet werden. Verstellbare Komponenten are common in Möbeln, Fahrzeugen, medizinischen Geräten und Elektronik, where adjustable features enhance fit, ergonomics, or functionality.

Related terms include einstellbar, a more general synonym often used in everyday language, and verstellen in the sense of adjusting. While verstellbar emphasizes capability, einstellbar stresses the configured setting. In formal writing, verstellbar and its declined forms are used in engineering, technical documentation, and preparatory specifications.
