When something is plausibel, it means it is reasonable or probable. You can use it when something makes sense or seems likely.
For example, if someone gives a good explanation for why they were late, you can say, "Det lyder plausibelt." (That sounds plausible.)
It's a useful word when you want to agree that something is a sensible idea or a likely outcome.
§ Plausibel in a Sentence
Alright, let's get into how to use "plausibel" in Danish. It's an adjective, meaning it describes a noun. Think of it like "reasonable" or "probable" in English. The good news is, like many Danish adjectives, its use is quite straightforward once you get the hang of agreement.
- Definition
- Reasonable or probable; believable, credible.
When you use "plausibel," it needs to agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Here's a quick refresher:
- Common gender nouns (en-words): Most nouns in Danish are common gender. For these, you'll generally use "plausibel."
- Neuter gender nouns (et-words): For neuter nouns, you add a "t" to the end: "plausibelt."
- Plural nouns: For plural nouns, you add an "e" to the end: "plausible."
§ Examples with Plausibel
Det er en plausibel forklaring.
This means: "That is a reasonable explanation." Here, "forklaring" (explanation) is an en-word (common gender), so we use "plausibel."
Han kom med et plausibelt
This translates to: "He came up with a plausible argument." "Argument" is an et-word (neuter gender), so we add a 't' to make it "plausibelt."
Deres grunde var plausible.
This means: "Their reasons were plausible." "Grunde" (reasons) is plural, so we use "plausible."
§ Prepositions with Plausibel
"Plausibel" doesn't typically take a specific preposition. It usually stands on its own to describe a noun, or it's used with linking verbs like "være" (to be) or "lyder" (sounds/seems). You'll often see it as part of a statement about whether something makes sense or is believable.
Historien lyder meget plausibel.
This translates to: "The story sounds very plausible." Here, "lyder" is the linking verb.
Er det et plausibelt
This means: "Is that a plausible scenario?" Again, no specific preposition is tied to "plausibel" itself in this structure.
To sum it up: "plausibel" is a handy word for describing things that are reasonable, probable, or credible. Pay attention to the noun it describes to ensure you're using "plausibel," "plausibelt," or "plausible" correctly. You'll hear and see this word often in Danish discussions about logic, explanations, and possibilities.
§ Don't confuse 'plausibel' with 'possible'
While 'plausible' in English and 'plausibel' in Danish both relate to something seeming likely, learners sometimes mix it up with 'possible'. In Danish, 'mulig' means 'possible'. Something can be possible but not plausible. Think of it this way: it's possible to win the lottery, but it's not very plausible for most people. 'Plausibel' implies a stronger degree of likelihood based on reason or evidence.
§ Using 'plausibel' when you mean 'credible'
Another common mistake is using 'plausibel' when what you really mean is 'credible'. While a plausible story might also be credible, the terms aren't interchangeable. 'Troværdig' is the Danish word for 'credible', referring to something that can be believed or trusted. A person can be troværdig, but not plausibel. A theory can be plausibel, and if it's well-supported, it can also be troværdig. Keep the distinction clear in your mind.
§ Misplacing the adjective in a sentence
As an adjective, 'plausibel' needs to agree with the noun it modifies. Danish adjective placement can be tricky for English speakers. Generally, adjectives come before the noun they describe. Also, remember to add '-t' for neuter nouns and '-e' for plural or definite forms. If you're unsure, practice with examples.
- DEFINITION
- Reasonable or probable
Det lyder plausibelt for mig.
Han kom med en plausibel forklaring.
De fremlagde flere plausible scenarier.
§ Overusing the word
While 'plausibel' is a useful word, don't overuse it. Just like in English, using 'plausible' too much can make your language sound repetitive or overly formal. Vary your vocabulary. Sometimes 'sandsynlig' (likely), 'fornuftig' (sensible), or 'rimelig' (reasonable) might be better choices depending on the context.
- 'Sandsynlig' focuses more on probability.
- 'Fornuftig' emphasizes good sense or reason.
- 'Rimelig' suggests fairness or appropriateness.
Think about the specific nuance you want to convey. Is it just that something seems probable, or is it also sensible? Choosing the right synonym will make your Danish sound more natural and precise.
§ Forgetting the 'l'
It's a small detail, but some learners might accidentally drop the 'l' in 'plausibel', making it sound like 'pausibel'. Always remember the 'l' – it's crucial for correct pronunciation and spelling.
§ Plausibel vs. Sandsynlig
The Danish word "plausibel" (plausible) is used to describe something that seems reasonable or probable. It's often about whether something *can be believed* or *makes sense* in a given context, even if there isn't definitive proof. Think of it as passing the 'smell test'.
Din forklaring lyder meget plausibel.
The word "sandsynlig" (probable/likely) is similar but often carries a stronger connotation of statistical or factual likelihood. While a plausible explanation might just *seem* right, a probable outcome is one that has a high chance of happening based on evidence or past events.
Det er sandsynligt, at det regner i morgen.
When to use which? Use "plausibel" when you are talking about the believability or coherence of an argument, story, or idea. Use "sandsynlig" when you are talking about the probability of an event or outcome.
§ Plausibel vs. Troverdig
"Troverdig" (credible/trustworthy) refers more to the source of information or the person providing it, rather than the information itself. While a story can be "plausibel," a person or a witness is "troverdig."
Vidnet virkede meget troverdig.
So, while a "troverdig" person might tell a "plausibel" story, the words describe different aspects.
§ Plausibel vs. Fornuftig
"Fornuftig" (reasonable/sensible) is broader than "plausibel." Something "fornuftig" is generally sound, wise, or makes good practical sense. A "plausibel" idea might be a good first step, but a "fornuftig" idea is well-thought-out and practical.
Det er en fornuftig beslutning at spare penge.
You might have a "plausibel" reason for being late (it *could* be true), but a "fornuftig" person would leave early to avoid being late.
§ Key Takeaways for "Plausibel"
- Use "plausibel" when something *seems* believable or makes logical sense in a story or explanation.
- It focuses on the internal coherence and apparent truthfulness of a statement or argument.
- It doesn't necessarily mean it's proven true, just that it's not immediately dismissible.

Como usar
Plausibel is used to describe something that is believable or makes sense. It's often used in formal contexts or when discussing theories, explanations, or arguments. For example, 'Det lyder plausibel' means 'That sounds plausible' or 'That sounds reasonable.'
A common mistake is confusing 'plausibel' with 'mulig' (possible). While something plausible is often possible, not everything possible is plausible. 'Plausibel' implies a higher degree of likelihood or reasonableness. Another mistake is to use it too informally; while not overly formal, it's not typically used in very casual conversation.
Dicas
Easy Pronunciation
The pronunciation of 'plausibel' is quite similar to its English cognate 'plausible'. The 'au' sounds like the 'ow' in 'cow', and the 'i' sounds like the 'ee' in 'see'. Stress is on the first syllable.
Use with 'Det er'
A common way to use 'plausibel' is with 'Det er' (It is). For instance, 'Det er en plausibel løsning' (It is a plausible solution). This is a good phrase to memorize.

While 'plausibel' can mean probable, it's not always interchangeable with 'sandsynlig' (likely). 'Plausibel' focuses more on the reasonableness and believability of something, rather than its statistical probability.
Compare with 'Tro-værdig'
Consider the Danish word 'troværdig' (credible). While similar, 'plausibel' often describes a scenario or argument, whereas 'troværdig' often describes a person or source.
Opposite: 'Uplausibel'
The antonym is 'uplausibel' (implausible). You can easily form this by adding the prefix 'u-'. This is a handy trick for expanding your Danish vocabulary.
In News and Debates
You'll frequently hear 'plausibel' in discussions, news reports, and debates when evaluating arguments or theories. It's a key word for expressing critical thought.
Formal Contexts
'Plausibel' is a relatively formal word. While you can use it in everyday conversation, it sounds more at home in academic or professional settings.
