davranabilir

Davranabilir is a Turkish adjective formed from the verb davranmak (to behave, to act) with the suffix -ebilir, which conveys possibility or capability. The result means “able to behave” or “capable of behaving.” The corresponding noun is davranabilirlik, referring to the ability to behave in a certain way or to exhibit particular behavior.

Usage of the term is most common in formal, technical, or academic contexts. It can describe systems, models, or agents that can exhibit predefined behaviors, such as robotic devices, software agents, or behavioral simulations. In everyday language, speakers more often use expressions like davranan (behaving) or davranış gösterecek/sergileyen (showing behavior), while davranabilir appears primarily in specifications, research, or analytical writing.

Examples: “Bu robot, sensör verilerine göre davransabilir ve engellerden kaçınabilir.” or “Bir simülasyon, farklı girdilere bağlı olarak davranabilir senaryolar üretir.” Such sentences illustrate the notion of a thing being capable of acting in a controlled or expected manner.

Related terms include davranış (behavior), davranışsal (behavioral), and davranabilirlik (the ability to behave or behavioral capability). Turkish morphology allows davranabilirlik to denote the abstract capacity, while davranabilir remains the attributive form used to qualify a noun, typically in technical discourse.
