Able to be noticed or sensed

Possible to see, hear, feel, or notice, even if it is small or weak.

用法パターン: [something] is perceptible (to [someone])
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes confuse "perceptible" with "perceptive". "Perceptible" describes something that can be noticed (e.g., "a perceptible sound"), while "perceptive" describes a person who understands things quickly (e.g., "a very perceptive teacher"). Do not say *"He is very perceptible"*; say *"He is very perceptive"*.
類義語
noticeable (More common and neutral; does not especially suggest that the thing is small or faint.) | discernible (Slightly formal; often used when something is just clear enough to be recognized, especially with effort.)
対義語
imperceptible (Describes something that cannot be detected by the senses or mind at all.)

Large enough to notice as change

Big enough to see or feel as a change or effect.

用法パターン: a perceptible [change/effect/difference] in [something]
よくある間違い:
Learners may use "perceptible" when they only mean "big" or "strong". "Perceptible" focuses on being noticeable as a change or effect, not simply being large. For example, instead of *"a perceptible city"*, say *"a big city"*; use "perceptible" with abstract nouns like "change", "difference", "effect", or "improvement". Also do not confuse it with "perceptive", which describes a person.
類義語
appreciable (Formal; commonly used in statistics, economics, and science for amounts large enough to matter or to be measured.) | measurable (Emphasizes that the change or effect can be measured, not just felt or seen.)
対義語
negligible (Describes a change or effect so small that it can be ignored or is not important.)
