muligt

Muligt is a Danish adjective meaning "possible" and is the neuter singular form of the base adjective mulighed. It is used to describe neuter nouns, while the common gender form is mærkelig? No—let me correct: the common gender form is "en mulig løsning" where the adjective remains "mulig." The neuter form "et muligt tidspunkt" is used when the noun is neuter gender. The word also functions as a predicative adjective in phrases like "Det er muligt" (It is possible).

In addition to its adjectival use, muligt appears in the adverbial form muligvis, meaning "possibly" or "perhaps." This adverb is commonly placed before the main verb or clause: "Det kan muligvis være rigtigt," meaning "That may possibly be true," or "Han vil muligvis komme senere," meaning "He may possibly come later."

Common usage notes:

- Attributive use before a noun: et muligt tidspunkt, en mulig løsning.

- Predicative use after the copula: Det er muligt.

- Comparative and superlative forms are not typically used, as mulige is the plural/adjective form rather than a comparative.

Related terms include mulig (the base form for masculine or feminine common-gender nouns) and muligvis (the adverb). The word is standard in contemporary Danish and appears across formal and informal registers, particularly when discussing feasibility, feasibility studies, planning, or uncertainty.
