Is that feasible?

Hi everyone, here's a quick vocab lesson to get you through the weekend~!

FEASIBLE

Do you know this word? It is a high level word that is often used in BUSINESS. It basically means that it can be done. In casual English, we would say that it is DOABLE.

1) Is finishing this report by Friday feasible?

2) Is finishing this report by Friday doable?

These both mean the same thing but 1) sounds more professional and 2) sounds more casual. So you should use 1) with clients, at meetings, etc. and 2) with friends or co-workers- your boss might use it with you but it would be too casual if you used it with your boss~!

Another way feasible is often used is in:

Economically Feasible

This means, can we do make money doing this~!

Does it make economic sense? Sometimes, a project might be doable(technologically it can be done) but it isn't ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. We will lose money building and selling this product.

Technologically we can build it but the costs are so high that it isn't economically feasible right now. We need to wait till costs come down.

It isn't economically feasible for me to teach private lessons far from my home, I waste too much time getting to my students house.

Any questions?

Have a nice weekend,

Phil
