gentagelige

Gentagelige is the plural form of the Danish adjective gentagelig, meaning "repeatable" or "capable of being repeated." It is used to describe actions, procedures, measurements, or results that can be performed again under the same conditions. The singular form is gentageligt (neuter) or gentagelig (common gender), as in et gentageligt eksperiment or en gentagelig test; the plural form is de gentagelige eksperimenter or de gentagelige resultater.

In scientific and technical writing, gentagelige results or procedures are those that can be repeated within a study or by other researchers under similar conditions. The concept is related to, but not identical with, reproducerbarhed (reproducibility), which more often refers to independent confirmation of findings by different researchers using the same methodology.

Etymology and usage: Gentagelige derives from the verb gentage ("to repeat") plus the adjectival suffix -lig. It is widely used in Danish to discuss experimental design, quality control, and measurement, where repeatability is a key characteristic.
