Able to be measured or quantified
Possible to measure in size, amount, or level, often with numbers or tools.
Verwendungsmuster:
[something] is measurable / measurable [noun]
Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes use *measurable* when they simply mean *big* or *important*. *Measurable* focuses on something that can be shown with numbers or clear data. For example, "a big problem" is not always a "measurable problem" unless you can show it with numbers.
Synonyme
quantifiable (More technical; strongly suggests expressing something in exact numbers.)
Antonyme
immeasurable (Suggests something is so large, complex, or abstract that it cannot be measured at all.)

Noticeably large or clear enough
Big or clear enough that people can easily see or feel the change or effect.
Verwendungsmuster:
a measurable [effect/change/improvement/difference]
Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes confuse *measurable* with *meaningful* or *good*. *Measurable* only means the change is clear enough to notice; it does not say if the change is positive or negative. For example, "a measurable drop in income" is clear and noticeable, but not good.
Synonyme
noticeable (Focuses on being seen or felt; less about numbers and more about perception.)
Antonyme
negligible (Means so small or unimportant that it can almost be ignored; the opposite of a clearly noticeable effect.)
