indokolható

Indokolható is a Hungarian adjective meaning capable of being justified or explained by reasons or evidence. It is formed from the verb indokolni (to justify, to explain) with the suffix -ható, which marks capability or feasibility.

In general use, indokolható describes statements, decisions, claims, or actions that can be supported by facts, criteria, or arguments. It is common in formal registers such as law, public administration, business, and academic writing. In legal contexts, decisions are often required to be indokolható, i.e., accompanied by a justification (indokolás). The term emphasizes the potential to provide valid reasons rather than claiming the justification already exists.

Synonyms include megokolható and alátámasztható; antonyms include indokolatlan (unjustifiable). The related noun is indokolás; related adjective forms include indokolt (justified) and indokolhatóan (adverbial form, meaning in a justifiable way).

Examples:

- A döntés indokolható volt a rendelkezésre álló adatok alapján.

- A javaslat indokolható megfontolásokkal érvel.
