Also means
feasible
Usage Note
Viable is a direct cognate that learners often overextend; in Spanish it specifically means something can be carried out or is workable, so una solución viable is 'a workable solution'. It does not mean 'lively' or 'alive' — use vivo for that. The stress falls on the first syllable.
Examples
"El proyecto parece viable."
Natural Translation
The project seems viable.
