verstellbarer

Verstellbarer is a German adjective meaning adjustable or capable of being adjusted. It is derived from the verb verstellen (to adjust or move) combined with the suffix -bar, which forms adjectives indicating capability. The base form verstellbar is the common predicate or attributive form, while verstellbarer is the masculine nominative singular inflection used before a masculine noun with a determiner, as in ein verstellbarer Stuhl or der verstellbarer Stuhl. Other genders and plural forms change the ending accordingly (verstellbare Lampe, verstellbares Maß, verstellbare Stühle).

In practice, verstellbarer appears in product descriptions, technical manuals, and design literature to denote items whose features can be changed by the user or by a mechanism. Typical applications include furniture (height-adjustable chairs or backrests), tools and devices with adjustable angles or lengths, and ergonomic equipment that allows customization to fit different users or tasks. The term is often found alongside related terms such as verstellbar, einstellbar, and einstellbar, which convey similar notions of adjustability and configurability.

Usage notes and nuance: verstellbar emphasizes the ability to adjust a feature, usually through a built-in mechanism. While verstellbar and einstellbar are close in meaning, verstellbar frequently highlights mechanical or structural adjustment, whereas einstellbar may refer more broadly to settings that can be chosen or tuned. Both forms appear across technical and consumer contexts to communicate flexibility and personalization.
