countable

Able to enumerate

Countable describes things that can be enumerated as discrete units.

In grammar, countable nouns (also called count nouns) are those that can take a plural form and be modified by numbers or words like "many" or "few": three apples, several ideas.

This contrasts with uncountable or mass nouns like "water" or "furniture." In mathematics, a countable set is one whose elements can be put into correspondence with the natural numbers, even if infinite.
