kännbare

Kännbare is a Swedish adjective that translates to "perceptible," "tangible," "noticeable," or "discernible" in English. It describes something that can be perceived through the senses or understood by the mind. The word originates from the Swedish verb "känna," meaning "to feel" or "to know."

The concept of kännbare is used in various contexts. In a physical sense, it refers to something that can be touched, seen, heard, smelled, or tasted. For example, the warmth of the sun on one's skin is kännbare. In a more abstract sense, it can describe something that is evident or can be recognized through thought or observation. A pattern in data, for instance, might be described as kännbare if it becomes clear upon analysis.

The degree to which something is kännbare can vary. Some things are immediately and strongly kännbare, while others require closer attention or specific conditions to be perceived. The opposite of kännbare is often described as "okännbart," meaning imperceptible or intangible. Understanding the nuance of kännbare helps in appreciating descriptions of sensory experiences and the recognition of subtle phenomena.
