håndgribelighed

Håndgribelighed is a Danish term that translates directly to "tangibility" or "graspability." In a broader sense, it refers to the quality of being concrete, real, or easily understood. It is the characteristic of something that can be perceived with the senses, particularly through touch, or that can be conceptually grasped and comprehended without significant difficulty.

The concept of håndgribelighed is often used in discussions about abstract ideas, theories, or problems. When something is described as håndgribelig, it implies that it is not vague or theoretical, but rather has a definite form or impact that can be observed or felt. This can apply to physical objects, but also to situations, solutions, or even emotions that are so pronounced they are almost palpable.

In problem-solving or project management, a "håndgribeligt resultat" (tangible result) is a desired outcome, signifying progress that is evident and measurable. Conversely, a lack of håndgribelighed might suggest a need for clearer definition, more concrete examples, or a more practical approach. The term emphasizes the importance of grounding concepts and experiences in reality, making them accessible and actionable.
