verbalizable

Able to speak

Verbalizable describes something that can be put into words.

The term often appears in psychology and philosophy, distinguishing knowledge or experiences that can be articulated from those that resist expression: Some memories are verbalizable; others exist only as feelings.

Tacit knowledge—like how to ride a bike—is famously difficult to verbalize.
