Definition
  1. Adjective:
    • Capable of being counted: A "countable" noun or object is one that can be enumerated as individual, separate units. It can be used with numbers (e.g., one, two, three) and quantifiers like "many" or "few."
    • Denoting a set whose elements can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the natural numbers: In mathematics, a "countable" set is an infinite set whose elements can be listed in a sequence, meaning it has the same size as the set of natural numbers.

    • In set theory, the set of all integers is a countable infinite set. (The collection of all whole numbers can be matched one-to-one with the natural numbers.)

  • "Countable noun" (Grammar): A noun that has both singular and plural forms and can be modified by numbers.
