erträglichen

erträglichen is a German adjective that translates to "bearable," "tolerable," or "endurable" in English. It describes a state or condition that can be put up with, even if it is not ideal or pleasant. The word is derived from the verb "ertragen," which means "to bear," "to endure," or "to tolerate."

The adjective erträglichen is often used in contexts where individuals are facing difficulties, discomfort, or hardship. For example, one might describe a difficult situation as "erträglich" if they can manage to cope with it, despite its unpleasant nature. It implies a level of resilience or acceptance in the face of adversity.

The term can also be used to describe a degree of something that is acceptable or within limits. For instance, a certain level of noise might be described as "erträglich" if it does not significantly disrupt daily life. It suggests that while the situation might not be perfect, it does not cross a line into being completely unacceptable.

The opposite of erträglichen would be words like "unerträglich" (unbearable) or "inakzeptabel" (unacceptable). The use of erträglichen often implies a subjective assessment of a situation's acceptability, as what one person finds bearable, another might not. It is a common adjective in everyday German conversation and writing.
