percepibili

Percepibili is the plural form of the Italian adjective percepibile, meaning capable of being perceived. It is used to describe information, signals, or elements that can be detected or understood by the senses or through assistive technologies. The term is common in contexts ranging from everyday language to discussions of accessibility and user interfaces.

Etymology and form: perceiveable derives from the Latin root percipere, meaning to grasp or take in, with the suffix -ibile that marks the potential or capability. Percepibili agrees in gender and number with plural nouns, as in elementi percepibili or dati percepibili.

Usage: In standard Italian, percepibili is used to qualify objects or content that users can perceive. Examples include “informazioni percepibili,” “ segnali percettivi percepibili,” or “output percepibili” in technical writing. The term also appears in discussions about design and communication where the goal is to ensure that content is accessible to a broad audience.

Accessibility context: In the Italian translation of accessibility guidelines, the concept of making information and user interface components percepibile is central. The Italian phrasing often uses percepibile to describe how content should be presented so that it can be detected by at least one sense, such as vision or hearing, or through assistive technologies. In this sense, percepibili items are those that meet criteria for visibility, audibility, or other perceptual pathways.
