kullanabilecegi

Kullanabilecegi (standard Turkish: kullanabileceği) is a Turkish morphological form derived from the verb kullanmak, meaning “to use.” It expresses potentiality or future ability and is typically used to introduce a relative or noun phrase such as “the thing that can be used” or “the one that he/she will be able to use.” The form results from attaching a potential/ability segment to the verb stem (kullan) and then adding the relative/nominalizing suffix -ği, producing forms like kullanabileceği and kullanabileceğim.

Morphology and usage

- The base is kullan- (to use). To express “can/will be able to use,” Turkish commonly employs the suffix range -ebil-/ -abil- or the future potential segment -ece-/-a-, combined with the final -ği to create a dependent form.

- The resulting form, kullanabileceği, can modify a noun or function in a dependent clause: for example, kullanabileceği araçlar means “the tools that he can use,” and kullanabileceği kadar means “as much as he can use.”

- In sentences, kullanabileceği typically appears as a modifier before a noun or as part of a noun phrase in a subordinate clause.

Examples

- Kullanabileceği araçları seçti. — He chose the tools that he can use.

- Kullanabileceği kadar malzeme var. — There is material as much as he can use.

Notes

- The diacritic-rich form kullanabileceği is common in written Turkish; without diacritics it appears as kullanabilecegi.

- This form is widely used in formal and informal Turkish to express prospective capability and to link clauses with a relative meaning.
