ausziehbarer

Ausziehbarer is a German adjective meaning extendable or pull-out. It describes objects or parts that can be extended, drawn out, or unfolded to increase length, capacity, or function. The term is commonly used for furniture and hardware, but also appears in mechanical and architectural contexts to indicate a feature that can be extended.

Etymology and usage: Ausziehbar derives from ausziehen (to pull out, to extend) with the suffix -bar, meaning capable of. The attributive form ausziehbarer is used before a masculine singular noun in the nominative case, for example ein ausziehbarer Tisch. The endings change with gender, article, and case: ein ausziehbarer Tisch (nominative), eines ausziehbaren Tisches (genitive), einem ausziehbaren Tisch (dative), einen ausziehbaren Tisch (accusative). In plural contexts, we have ausziehbare Tische. The base form without -er is ausziehbar, and it can function as a predicate adjective or as a noun in rare cases, though the latter is uncommon.

Common applications: In furniture, ausziehbare Tisch is a classic example, as are ausziehbare Betten, ausziehbare Schreibtische, or ausziehbare Regale. In hardware and construction, terms like ausziehbare Führungen or ausziehbare Auszüge describe sliding or telescoping components. The concept also appears in other domains where a feature can be extended or pulled out, such as antennas, drawers, or work surfaces.
