veelmogelijk

Veelmogelijk is a Dutch term formed by combining veel (much, many) with mogelijk (possible). In ordinary usage, the idea is typically expressed with the two-word phrase zo veel mogelijk, meaning “as much as possible” or “as many as possible.” The single-word spelling veelmogelijk is uncommon and not generally preferred in formal writing; it may appear in headlines, slogans, or branding where compactness is desired.

Grammar and usage notes:

- As an attributive expression before nouns, the standard construction is veel mogelijke followed by a noun, as in veel mogelijke opties = many possible options.

- When conveying the extent of an action or effort, the emphasis is usually achieved with zo veel mogelijk doen, meaning to do something as much as possible.

- The two-word form zo veel mogelijk is the recommended variant in most contexts, while veel mogelijk (two words) can also appear in some stylistic or colloquial uses.

Etymology:

- The word is a compound of veel and mogelijk, both of which originate in Dutch and have long-standing use in adjectival and adverbial phrases. Their combination conveys the degree to which something is possible or feasible.

Overall, veelmogelijk functions primarily as a linguistic curiosity or stylistic variant. For formal writing, the standard two-word forms zo veel mogelijk or veel mogelijke-together with the noun are preferred.
