dehnbar

The German word "dehnbar" is an adjective meaning "stretchable" or "elastic".

• It is derived from the verb "dehnen" which means "to stretch".
• The suffix "-bar" indicates that something is capable of being done, so "dehnbar" literally means "capable of being stretched".

• "Dehnbar" emphasizes the physical ability to stretch or extend, often used for materials.
• "Elastisch" also implies returning to original form after stretching.
• "Flexibel" generally highlights adaptability or bending without breaking, sometimes more abstractly (e.g., flexible plans).
