Düzeltebilirsin

Düzeltebilirsin is a Turkish verb form meaning “you can fix” or “you are able to correct.” It is derived from düzeltmek (to fix, to correct) and combines the potential auxiliary -ebil- with the second-person singular present ending -irsin. The construction expresses present ability in informal address to a single person.

Morphology and usage are straightforward: the root düzelt- is followed by the bridging vowel -e-, then the potential suffix -bil-, and finally the second-person singular present ending -irsin, yielding düzeltebilirsin. This form is commonly used to indicate that someone has the capability to perform a correction or adjustment, rather than issuing a command.

In context, düzeltebilirsin is often used to offer encouragement or to point out possibility, for example when suggesting a reviewer or editor can fix a text. The corresponding form for plural or formal you is düzeltebilirsiniz, while düzeltebilirdi would express “he/she/it could fix,” and düzeltebilirse would express “if he/she/it could fix.” The sentence is informal and direct, typically spoken rather than written in formal documentation.

Examples:

- Bu hatayı sen düzeltebilirsin. (You can fix this error.)

- Metni dikkatlice kontrol ettikten sonra hataları düzeltebilirsiniz. (After checking the text, you can fix the errors.)

Related terms include düzeltmek (to fix/correct), düzeltici (corrective), and olası as a concept related to possibility.
