Usage Note
Accettabile is an all-purpose adjective for something that meets a minimum standard — not outstanding, but adequate. It is invariable in gender (same form for m/f: un risultato accettabile, una soluzione accettabile), changing only for plural (accettabili). It can carry a faintly damning-with-faint-praise tone in formal registers.
Examples
"La proposta è accettabile."
Natural Translation
The proposal is acceptable.
