fahrbaren

Fahrbaren is the attributive plural form of the German adjective fahrbar, meaning capable of being driven or moved. The base adjective fahrbar comes from fahren, "to drive" or "to travel," combined with the suffix -bar, meaning able to. In phrases describing plural nouns with a definite article or other determiner, the form becomes fahrbaren, as in die fahrbaren Fahrzeuge or unseren fahrbaren Geräten.

Grammatical use and forms

In the plural, fahrbar takes the ending -en when used with definite determinants: die fahrbaren Fahrzeuge, mit den fahrbaren Geräten. Without a determiner, the strong declension yields fahrbare Fahrzeuge. The genitive plural with a definite determiner appears as der fahrbaren Fahrzeuge, and the dative plural as mit den fahrbaren Geräten. The form fahrbaren is thus a common inflected variant used to express mobility or drivability of multiple items in context.

Meaning and scope

Fahrbar describes objects designed to be moved or driven, including vehicles and equipment that can be relocated. It is widely used in technical writing, logistics, robotics, and everyday language to distinguish movable from fixed installations. The term can be applied to a range of scales, from portable tools to mobile infrastructure.

Examples of usage

Common collocations include fahrbare Fahrzeuge (drivable vehicles), fahrbare Geräte (mobile devices), fahrbare Einrichtungen (moblie facilities), and fahrbare Bauteile (movable components). In broader discourse, fahrbar is used to contrast fixed installations with mobile solutions in planning and engineering.
