Söyleyebilmesidir

Söyleyebilmesidir is a Turkish word that functions as a verbal noun. It is formed by combining the verb "söylemek" (to say, to tell) with the verbal noun suffix "-ebilmek" (ability, possibility) and the possessive suffix "-i" (his/her/its). The literal translation would be "his/her/its being able to say" or "the ability of him/her/it to say."

This construction conveys the idea of someone or something possessing the capacity to express something. It emphasizes the potential or capability for speech rather than the act of speaking itself. For example, in a sentence like "Onun bu konuyu söyleyebilmesidir beni şaşırttı" (His being able to say this subject surprised me), the focus is on the unexpected capability rather than the content of what was said.

The grammatical structure of "söyleyebilmesidir" can be broken down as follows: "söyle-" (root of the verb söylemek), "-yebil-" (suffix indicating ability/possibility), "-me-" (verbal noun suffix), and "-si" (third-person possessive suffix), followed by "-dir" (copula, often translated as "is"). The final "-dir" makes it a complete sentence element, essentially meaning "it is the ability to say." This grammatical form is common in Turkish for expressing abstract concepts related to actions or states.
