lernbaren

Lernbar is a German adjective meaning "able to be learned" or "learnable." The form lernbaren is the inflected plural form used with definite determiners in various cases, for example: die lernbaren Fähigkeiten (nominative plural), die lernbaren Inhalte (accusative plural), mit den lernbaren Ergebnissen (dative plural), der lernbaren Fähigkeiten (genitive plural). The base form is lernbar, and the suffix -bar indicates capability or possibility.

Etymology and grammar: Lernbar derives from lernen (to learn) plus the suffix -bar, which denotes that something can be done or possessed. In plural usage, the adjective takes the ending -en after definite articles or other determiners, producing lernbaren in forms such as die lernbaren Eigenschaften or mit den lernbaren Zielen.

Usage and context: The term is common in educational theory, cognitive science, linguistics, and related fields to describe content, skills, or tasks that learners can acquire. It is often used to categorize learning objectives or materials, as in "lernbare Inhalte" or "lernbare Kompetenzen." The adjective can be contrasted with erlernbar, which also means learnable but may emphasize learnability through deliberate instruction or practice, and with unlernbar, a rarer term for “not learnable.”

Examples: "Die lernbaren Kompetenzen lassen sich schrittweise entwickeln." "Das Lernmaterial ist gut verständlich und gut lernbar, besonders für Anfänger." In English: learnable or readily learnable.

Note: Lernbar and "lernbaren" are grammatical variants within German grammar rather than separate concepts. The English equivalent is "learnable."
