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.
