verificabili

Verificabili is an Italian adjective meaning "that can be verified." It is used to describe statements, data, hypotheses, or observations that can be checked against evidence. The singular form is verificabile, and the plural is verificabili, which can refer to masculine or feminine nouns in plural.

The word derives from the verb verificare, to verify, from Latin verus "true" and the suffix -ficare; the sense is that something can be confirmed or proven true through examination or evidence.

In scientific and philosophical contexts, verificabile denotes claims that can be tested or corroborated by observation, experiment, or reproducible data. It is related but not identical to falsificabile, which denotes the possibility of falsification. In philosophy of science, verificationism treated verifiability as a criterion of meaningful statements; in contemporary discourse the term is often used more broadly to signal empirical testability.

Examples: "Le ipotesi sono verificabili." "Dati verificabili." "Una spiegazione verificabile mediante esperimenti replicabili." "Questo risultato è verificabile entro sei mesi."
