1. 1

    /ˈkwestʃənəbəl/

    Questionable describes something that might not be true, honest, right, or good quality - something that makes you doubt it or feel unsure. It can describe a claim or piece of evidence ('questionable evidence' - it might not be reliable), a decision ('a questionable choice' - maybe not wise), or someone's honesty ('his methods were questionable' - maybe not fair or legal). People often use it as a polite, softer way of criticizing something instead of saying directly that it's wrong or bad.
