Bozabilir

Bozabilir is a Turkish verb form that expresses possibility or capability, translating roughly as can spoil, may ruin, or may damage. It derives from the verb bozmak (to spoil, ruin) and the modal suffix -abilir, which marks potentiality. The form is typically used with a subject in the third person and does not carry a personal ending on its own.

Morphology and usage: The stem boz- combines with -abilir to form bozabilir. This construction conveys that something is capable of causing spoilage or disruption, rather than stating a definite outcome. It can refer to physical spoilage, moral or procedural disruption, or data corruption, depending on context.

Examples: Bu yiyecek bozulabilir. (This food may spoil.) Bu dosya bozulabilir. (This file might become corrupted.) Plan bozulabilir. (The plan could be disrupted.)

Etymology: The word comes from bozmak, a common Turkish verb, and the modal suffix -abilir, part of a family of verbs that express possibility or capacity in Turkish grammar.
