tutulabilir

Tutulabilir is a Turkish adjective meaning “capable of being held” or “graspable.” It describes objects that can be held or grasped by hand, typically referring to physical properties such as size, weight, or shape that permit holding.

Etymology and grammar: the word is formed from the verb tutmak (to hold) with the passive stem tutul- and the potential suffix -abilir, which expresses possibility. The resulting form, tutulabilir, is used to indicate that something can be held. The noun form tutulabilirlik expresses the property of being holdable.

Usage: tutulabilir is most commonly used to describe tangible objects like tools, devices, boxes, or utensils that are designed to be held. For example, "Bu kutu hafif olduğu için tutulabilir" means “This box is easy to hold because it is light.” In product descriptions and technical contexts, tutulabilirlik or tutulabilirlik özelliği may appear to communicate grip or hand-held suitability. In some contexts, the sense may be extended metaphorically to indicate that a concept or explanation is easy to grasp, though this figurative usage is less frequent than the physical sense.

Related forms: tutulma (being held or captured), tutulabilirlik (holdability, the quality of being holdable). The verb root and related derivatives come from tutmak, with the standard Turkish pattern of combining a root, the passive stem, and the potential suffix to express capability.
