açabilmek

Açabilmek is a Turkish verb expressing the potential or ability to open something. It is formed by adding the passive suffix "-il" to the root verb "açmak" (to open) and then attaching the suffix "-ebil" which signifies ability or possibility. Therefore, "açabilmek" literally translates to "to be able to open" or "can open."

This verb is used in various contexts. For instance, one might say "Kapıyı açabilmek için anahtara ihtiyacım var" (I need a key to be able to open the door). It can also imply the possibility of something opening, such as "Bu eski kilit kendi kendine açabilir" (This old lock can open by itself). The tense and person are indicated by suffixes added to "-ebil," such as "açabileceğim" (I will be able to open) or "açabildiler" (they were able to open). The negative form is created by inserting "me" before "ebil," resulting in "açamamak" (to not be able to open).
