Açklayabilir

Açklayabilir is a Turkish verb form that would be interpreted as “can explain.” The standard spelling is açıklayabilir, formed from the verb açıklamak, which means to explain or clarify. This form expresses the ability or possibility to explain and is used with a subject understood from context.

Formation and usage: Açıklamak is the base verb meaning “to explain.” To express possibility or capability Turkish uses the suffix -abilir (or -ebilir, depending on vowel harmony). When combined with the stem açıklay-, the resulting açıklayabilir means “he/she/it can explain” or, in a general sense, “may explain.” Turkish conjugation can further specify the person, as in açıklayabilirim (I can explain) or açıklayabilirler (they can explain), but açıklayabilir itself is typically used with an understood third-person subject.

Examples:

- O bu konuyu açıklayabilir. (He/She/It can explain this topic.)

- Öğretmen, kavramı açıklayabilir. (The teacher can explain the concept.)

- Bu raporu o açıklayabilir. (That person can explain this report.)

Notes: Açklayabilir is usually a misspelling of açıklayabilir. Turkish orthography requires the dotless ı in the root açıl- variations like açıklayabilir with the correct sequence açık-la-. Related terms include açıklamak (to explain), açıklama (explanation), and açıklanabilir (explainable).
