seçebilir

Seçebilir is a Turkish verb form that expresses ability or possibility, meaning "can choose" or "may choose." It is the third-person singular form of the modal construction built from the verb seçmek (to choose) with the suffix -ebil/-abil. The base stem is seç-, and adding -ebil yields seçebil-, which combines with the standard personal ending to produce seçebilir. The corresponding infinitive is seçebilmek (to be able to choose).

In usage, seçabilir indicates that someone or something has the ability to choose. It can appear in questions as well, such as Seçebilir misin? (Can you choose?). The form is common in contexts involving decisions, elections, or selecting among options. Plural subject forms exist, for example onlar seçebilirler (they can choose).

Morphology and related forms: seçebilmek is the infinitive, used when discussing the general ability to choose. Other related forms include the third-person plural seçebilirler (they can choose) and the conditional/past potential forms such as seçebilirdim (I could choose) when combined with appropriate verb endings.

Notes on nuance: the Turkish potential mood expressed by -ebil/-abil conveys ability or possibility and is widely used across tenses with additional time markers or auxiliary constructions. Seçmek, the base verb, is regular, while the modal construction with -ebil/-abil is productive for expressing capability, choice, or permission in a concise, non-person-specific way.
