Anlatlabilir

Anlatlabilir is not a standard Turkish verb form. It is generally regarded as a misspelling or nonstandard contraction of related forms built from the verb root anlat- (to tell or explain). In standard Turkish, two closely related forms are used: anlatabilir and anlatılabilir.

Morphology and meaning. The suffix -abilir/-ebilir expresses ability or possibility and attaches to verb stems (e.g., anlatabilir = can explain/tell). The passive suffix -ıl-/il-/ul-/l- combines with the verb to form the passive voice, and when combined with capability it yields anlatılabilir = can be explained or can be told. The sequence with both a passive and a modal suffix is common in Turkish grammar, and anlatılabilir is the correct form for the passive, while anlatabilir is the correct form for the active, ability sense.

Usage and examples. For active meaning:

- Bu konuyu anlatabilir misin? Can you explain this topic?

For passive meaning:

- Bu olay anlatılabilir. This event can be explained.

If you encounter anlatlabilir in writing, it is usually a spelling error or a colloquial misspelling of one of the standard forms, and its meaning is ambiguous without clarification.

Context. In Turkish linguistic descriptions, the distinction among active, passive, and modal constructions is important. The forms anlatabilir and anlatılabilir are canonical, while anlatlabilir is not recognized as a standard form and should be corrected in formal writing.
