erhältlicher

erhältlicher is a German adjective derived from the verb "erhalten," which means to receive, obtain, or be preserved. In its masculine singular form, "erhältlicher" translates to "obtainable," "available," or "receivable." It is used to describe a noun that can be acquired, accessed, or is currently in a state of being present or on hand.

The adjective "erhältlicher" modifies masculine singular nouns. For example, one might say "der erhältlicher Preis" (the obtainable price), indicating a price that can be agreed upon or is within reach. Similarly, "ein erhältlicher Termin" would refer to an available appointment slot. The context in which "erhältlicher" is used dictates the precise nuance of "obtainable" or "available."

The word's usage is common in various contexts, including commerce, scheduling, and general descriptions of accessibility. It implies that something is not out of reach or impossible to get. The feminine singular form is "erhältliche," the neuter singular is "erhältliches," and the plural forms are "erhältlichen" (for all genders in attributive position) and "erhältliche" (in predicative position or after definite articles). Understanding these declensions is crucial for correct grammatical application in German.
