kurabilirsin

Kurabilirsin is a Turkish verb form that means “you can set up” or “you are able to establish/install.” It comes from the verb kurmak (to set up, to establish, to found) combined with the modal suffixabil (indicating possibility or ability) and the second-person singular suffix -sin, yielding kurabilirsin. The form expresses present-tense ability and is used in informal address.

Morphology and usage details: The base is kur- (root of kurmak) plus -ebil- (the ability or possibility marker). The final suffix -sin marks the second-person singular subject (you). The resulting phonology of kurabilirsin follows Turkish vowel harmony and assimilation rules, producing kurabilirsin. Turkish has related forms for other persons and numbers, such as kurabiliriz (we can set up), kurabilirsiniz (you can set up, formal or plural), and kurabilirler (they can set up). The infinitive form is kurabilmek, meaning “to be able to set up.” This construction expresses capability rather than permission in Turkish.

Usage notes: Kurabilirsin is used to indicate capability in the present or generally in Turkish discourse, without implying obligation or permission. It is common in everyday speech, instructional contexts, and any situation where one asserts that someone has the ability to perform the action of kurmak (to set up, to install, to found).

Examples:

- Bu projeyi kurabilirsin. (You can set up this project.)

- Kendi işini kurabilirsin. (You can start your own business.)

- Bu yazılımı bilgisayarına kurabilir misin? (Can you install this software on your computer?)

Kurabilirsin is a standard, neutral form and part of a broader set of Turkish modal constructions used to express ability.
