möjliga

Möjliga is the plural form of the Swedish adjective möjlig, meaning "possible." It is used to describe plural nouns, as in exempel like möjliga resultat (possible results) or flera möjliga alternativ (several possible alternatives). The corresponding singular forms are möjlig for common gender singular nouns (en möjlig bil) and möjligt for neuter singular nouns (ett möjligt beslut). In definite plural contexts, such as de möjliga planerna or de möjliga resultaten, the form stays möjlig i plural.

Möjligt is the neuter singular form, and möjlig is the common singular form. The adjective follows standard Swedish inflection rules for number and definiteness, and in practice the form möjliga is used for both indefinite and definite plural nouns because the definite status is carried by the noun itself (for example planerna, resultaten) rather than by modifying the adjective.

The word belongs to a larger family that includes the noun möjlighet, meaning "possibility" or "opportunity," and the adverb möjligen, meaning "perhaps" or "possibly." The term is closely related to cognates in other North Germanic languages, such as Danish mulig and Norwegian mulig. Its antonym is omöjlig, meaning "impossible."

Used widely in everyday Swedish, möjliga appears in discussions of feasibility, forecasts, risks, and choices. It helps express that more than one feasible option exists or that a certain outcome could occur.
