Able to be disproved
A falsifiable idea is one that could be tested and possibly proved wrong.
వాడుక నమూనా:
[claim/theory/hypothesis/statement] is falsifiable
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Do not confuse falsifiable with false. A falsifiable claim is not necessarily false; it is one that could be proved false if the evidence went against it.
పర్యాయపదాలు

విరుద్ధపదాలు
unfalsifiable (Cannot be tested in a way that could show it to be false.)

Able to be faked
Something falsifiable in this sense can be faked or changed dishonestly.
వాడుక నమూనా:
[document/record/data/evidence] is falsifiable
సాధారణ తప్పు:
This sense comes from falsify meaning “to fake or alter.” In many contexts, forgeable, tamperable, or easy to fake may sound more natural.
పర్యాయపదాలు
forgeable (Usually used for signatures, documents, money, or official items.)
|
tamperable (Emphasizes that something can be interfered with or altered.)
|
manipulable (Emphasizes that data or results can be changed or controlled dishonestly.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
unforgeable (Cannot realistically be copied or faked.)
|
tamper-proof (Designed so that it cannot be altered without detection.)
|
secure (Broader; protected against misuse, alteration, or unauthorized access.)
