gérables

Gérables is the plural form of the French adjective gérable, meaning capable of being managed or administered. In everyday usage, gérables describes tasks, situations, or resources that can be controlled, overseen, or kept within feasible limits through appropriate actions or processes. The word derives from the verb gérer (to manage) plus the suffix -able.

Use and nuance: Gérables emphasizes ongoing manageability rather than mere feasibility. It is commonly used in business, project planning, logistics, and governance to distinguish things that can be actively controlled from those that would require disproportionate effort or cannot be easily constrained. For example: des tâches gérables (manageable tasks) allow realistic planning; un portefeuille gérable (a manageable portfolio) fits within an organization’s capacity.

Grammar and usage: Gérable is an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies (singular and plural forms: gérable, gérables). It can describe masculine or feminine nouns in the plural with the same spelling, as in tâches gérables or projets gérables.

Limitations and related terms: In contexts requiring precision, other terms may be preferred, such as faisable (feasible), maîtrisable or contrôlable (controllable). Gérables remains a flexible descriptor for items that can be actively managed rather than purely possible or desirable.
