aktivierbaren

Aktivierbaren is the inflected form of the German adjective aktivierbar, meaning activatable or capable of being activated. It is used to describe objects, features, or components that can be turned on, enabled, or engaged.

Grammatical use and forms: aktivierbaren appears mainly in plural phrases after a definite article or other determiner that requires the ending -en in German. For example, die aktivierbaren Funktionen (the activatable functions) or mit den aktivierbaren Optionen (with the activatable options). In plural without a determiner, you may also encounter aktivierbare Funktionen (activatable functions). In singular contexts, the form aktivierbare is used, as in die aktivierbare Funktion or das aktivierbare Element. The basic form aktivierbar is used when describing something in a non-inflected or predicative position, e.g., Die Funktion ist aktivierbar.

Usage and context: The term is common in technical documentation, software design, and user interfaces to indicate elements that can be enabled or activated by a user or system. It helps distinguish between features that are available but inactive and those that are not activatable. In everyday German, synonyms or near-synonyms include einschaltbar or aktiv, depending on context. The noun form for the concept is often expressed as Aktivierbarkeit or similar constructions, though usage varies by domain.

Examples: Die aktivierbaren Optionen bleiben standardmäßig deaktiviert. Nur die aktivierbaren Funktionen werden im Menü angezeigt. In documentation, developers may describe API-parameter as aktivierbar, meaning the parameter can be provided to activate a corresponding behavior.
