In philosophy, truth-apt denotes statements that could be uttered in some context (without their meaning being altered) and would then express a true or false proposition.
Truth-apt sentences are capable of being true or false, unlike questions or commands. Whether paradoxical sentences, prescriptions (especially moral claims), or attitudes are truth-apt is sometimes controversial.
