tõestadav

Tõestadav is an Estonian language adjective that translates to "provable," "demonstrable," or "verifiable" in English. It describes something that can be shown to be true through evidence, logic, or experimentation. In a legal or scientific context, a tõestadav claim is one that can be supported by factual data and reasoning, allowing for its acceptance as accurate. Conversely, something that is not tõestadav remains unproven or uncertain. The concept is fundamental to establishing knowledge and reaching conclusions in various fields. For instance, a scientific hypothesis must be tõestadav through repeated testing to be accepted as a theory. Similarly, in a court of law, evidence presented must be tõestadav to convince a judge or jury. The opposite of tõestadav would be something that is speculative, hypothetical, or merely an assertion without substantiation. The ability to make something tõestadav is often a key criterion for its validity and reliability.
