umsetzbare

Umsetzbare is the inflected form of the German adjective umsetzbar, meaning capable of being implemented or put into practice. In everyday German, umsetzbar and its inflected forms describe plans, ideas, or solutions that can realistically be carried out. The base word comes from umsetzen (to implement, to put into action) and the suffix -bar, which indicates capability.

The form umsetzbare is used predominantly in attributive position before a noun, with the ending adjusted for gender, number and article. Examples: eine umsetzbare Lösung (feminine singular), der umsetzbare Plan (masculine singular), das umsetzbare Konzept (neuter singular). In plural: umsetzbare Ideen (no article or with indefinite article), die umsetzbaren Ideen (with definite article).

Predicative use is common with umsetzbar rather than umsetzbare: Das Konzept ist umsetzbar. The attributive form umsetzbare is typical in formal and written language.

Usage: in business, policy, project planning, and technical contexts, feasible or implementable conveys realism and practicality. It is close in meaning to synonymous terms like machbar, realisierbar, durchführbar, but each has nuance: machbar is broader; realisierbar emphasizes possibility given resources; durchführbar focuses on execution.

For etymology and related forms: umsetzen = to implement; -bar = suffix meaning capable of. Related adjectives include umsetzungsorientiert (focused on implementation) and umsetzungsfähig (capable of implementation).
