Wiedererkennbare

Wiedererkennbare is the feminine singular nominative and accusative form of the German adjective wiedererkennbar, meaning recognizable or identifiable again. It is used to describe a feminine noun and, depending on the declension, can also appear in other grammatical positions where the form matches feminine singular or, in some declensions, plural contexts.

Etymology and meaning

The word combines wieder- (again) with erkennen (to recognize) and the suffix -bar, which marks capability. The resulting adjective conveys that something can be recognized again or remains easily identifiable after changes or over time. As an adjective, its base form is wiedererkennbar; wiedererkennbare is one of its inflected endings used before feminine nouns.

Usage

Wiedererkennbare typically appears before feminine nouns in standard prose. Examples:

- eine wiedererkennbare Eigenschaft (a recognizable/identifiable property)

- die wiedererkennbare Struktur (the recognizable structure)

In technical or academic writing, the term may occur in discussions of features, signals, or designs that retain recognizability under certain conditions. The related noun forms include Wiedererkennbarkeit (recognizability) and Wiedererkennung (recognition).

Declension notes

As with other adjectives in German, wiedererkennbare declines according to the article and context. With a definite article: die wiedererkennbare Eigenschaft. With an indefinite article: eine wiedererkennbare Eigenschaft. Without an article, strong declension would also yield wiedererkennbare before feminine singular nouns.
