gösterebilir

Gösterebilir is a Turkish verb form that expresses possibility or ability, roughly translating as "can show" or "may show." It is the third-person singular form derived from göstermek (to show) with the modal suffix -ebilir, which conveys potential or probability. In use, göster- may take different subjects (he, she, it, or an implied subject) depending on sentence context.

Usage and meaning: Gösterebilir is used when it is not certain that something will be shown, but there is a possibility or capacity for showing it. It can indicate that evidence, data, or a phenomenon could demonstrate a point, trend, or fact. The meaning can shift with context: it may express a factual possibility in a given situation or a tentative prediction about what could be revealed by observations or results.

Morphology notes: Turkish forms with -ebilir express modality and do not correspond to tense in the same way as English can/may. Gösterebilir, like other -abilir/-ebilir forms, agrees with the subject in person and number through the verb conjugation, while the exact interpretation (ability vs. possibility) depends on context and accompanying words.

Examples:

- Bu veriler eğilimi gösterebilir. (These data may show the trend.)

- Kanıtlar bu hipotezi gösterebilir. (The evidence can/might show this hypothesis.)

Negation and related forms: Negating the form yields gösterebilmez (might not show/cannot show). Related forms include gösterebilecek (might be able to show) and gösterebilirim (I can show).
