zulässigem

Zulässigem is a German inflected form of the adjective zulässig, which means permissible or allowable. It is used to describe something that complies with rules, standards, or norms. The specific form zulässigem appears in the dative case and typically with masculine or neuter nouns when there is no determiner before the noun, i.e., in strong declension.

Grammar and usage notes:

- In phrases without a definite article, the adjective takes the strong ending -em in the dative singular: in zulässigem Rahmen, in zulässigem Verhalten.

- With a definite article, the adjective receives a weak ending and becomes dem zulässigen Rahmen or dem zulässigen Verhalten.

- With an indefinite article, the ending is also -en: einem zulässigen Rahmen, einem zulässigen Verhalten.

- The form zulässigem can also occur in other dative singular contexts for masculine or neuter nouns, depending on the presence or absence of determiners and the noun’s gender.

Common contexts:

- Legal, regulatory, or safety language, where statements refer to what is allowed under rules.

- Descriptions of limits or boundaries in policy or procedure, for example, im zulässigen Rahmen (within an allowable scope) or in zulässigem Umfang (to an allowable extent).

Related terms:

- Zulässigkeit (noun): the property of being permissible.

- zulässig (base adjective): permissible; its other inflected forms include zulässige, zulässigen, zulässigem, etc.

- Etymology: from zulassen (to permit) + suffix -ig, forming an adjective meaning permissible.

Overall, zulässigem functions as a grammar-specific form used to convey that something lies within permitted or acceptable limits in dative constructions.
