disponibili

Disponibili is the plural form of the Italian adjective disponibile, meaning available or on hand. It is used to describe people, objects, or resources that can be accessed or obtained. The term appears in everyday speech and in formal writing, especially in contexts such as job postings, service schedules, inventory lists, and planning documents. Examples include posti disponibili (available positions) and risorse disponibili (available resources).

Etymology traces available to the Latin disponibilis, formed from dis- and ponere (to place). In Italian, disponibile and its plural form disponibili agree with the noun in number (and gender, where applicable). The typical adjective form after the noun is disponibili, as in posti disponibili, but in some cases the sense can also support a pre-noun placement for emphasis.

Grammar and usage notes: disponibile is an -e adjective, with the singular forms disponibile (masculine and feminine) and the plural disponibili (masculine and feminine). Italian generally places adjectives after the noun, so the common construction is noun + disponibile, e.g., posti disponibili, prodotti disponibili. When used pre-noun for stylistic emphasis, it remains uncommon but can occur in literary or marketing contexts.

Related terms and concepts: the noun disponibile is used to indicate being ready for use, while disponibilità denotes availability or willingness to comply. In business and logistics, phrases such as inventario disponibile or disponibilità di stock are common. In information technology, available statuses and data availability are often translated using the same root, adapted to specific technical contexts.
