Wykrywalny

Wykrywalny is a Polish adjective meaning detectable or capable of being detected by observation, measurement, or testing. It is used to describe signals, substances, phenomena, or devices whose presence can be established with suitable methods. The English equivalent is detectable.

Derived from the verb wykryć “to detect” plus the suffix -alny, which forms adjectives meaning “able to be” or “relating to.” In Polish, wykrywalny agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies (wykrywalna, wykrywalne, etc.). In usage, it follows the ordinary Polish adjective inflection.

Common in scientific, technical, and medical contexts. It distinguishes detection by method or instrument from mere visibility, and is less about general notice than about verifiability through a procedure. The noun form is wykrywalność, meaning “detectability” or “the detectability rate.” The opposite is niewykrywalny, meaning “undetectable” or “difficult to detect.”

Examples: In Polish, one might say: Sygnał jest wykrywalny przy użyciu odpowiedniego przyrządu. A high degree of wykrywalność improves the reliability of a test, while low wykrywalność can limit usefulness.
