Gelemeyecek

Gelemeyecek is a Turkish verb form meaning “will not be able to come” or “cannot come.” It expresses the inability to attend or arrive in the future. The form is derived from gelebilmek, the verb phrase meaning “to be able to come,” with the negative and future suffixes. The standalone form gelemeyecek can indicate a general statement about someone or something, while for specific subjects it appears with person endings (for example, gelemeyeceğim, gelemeyecek, gelemeyeceğiz, gelemeyecekler).

Usage examples illustrate its function in context. O gelemeyecek. (He/She will not be able to come.) Toplantıya gelemeyecek misin? (Will you not be able to come to the meeting?) Bugün gelemeyecekler. (They will not be able to come today.) Ben gelemeyeceğim. (I will not be able to come.)

Notes on meaning and nuance: the negation concerns ability rather than the act of coming itself. If you want to express present or ongoing inability, you would use gelemiyorum (I cannot come / I am not able to come right now). For future inability with a defined subject, gelemeyeceğim, gelemeyecekler, etc., are used in accordance with Turkish subject agreement. The contrast with gelecek (will come) is a common point of confusion for learners, since Turkish relies on auxiliary forms to mark ability and tense.
