deitirilebilirler

Deitirilebilirler is a Turkish verb form that illustrates how Turkish combines mood, voice, and person with a verb root. The form would be built from a verb root deitir- (the specific root meaning is not standard Turkish and serves here as a placeholder), plus the passive marker il, the potential mood suffix bir or -ebilir (represented here as -ebilir), and the plural suffix -ler for third-person plural subjects. In standard Turkish, the sequence root + -ıl- (passive) + -abilir/-ebilir (potential) + -ler (they) yields a form meaning “they can be done” or, more generally, “they can be X,” with X supplied by the root.

Morphology and syntax. This construction shows how Turkish encodes modality (possibility) and voice (passive) on a single verb stem. The passive -ıl- morpheme indicates the action is performed on the subject or by an unspecified agent, while -abilir- expresses possibility, and -ler marks the third-person plural subject. The exact meaning depends on the lexical content of the root.

Usage and examples. In actual Turkish, the same pattern applies to real verbs. For instance, with a semantic root yap- (to do), the form yapılabilirler would mean “they can be done.” Deitirilebilirler demonstrates the morphological framework rather than a common, attested lexical item; it is useful for illustrating how Turkish morphological slots combine to express passive voice and potential mood for a plural subject.
