yapabiliyor

Yapabiliyor is a Turkish verb form derived from yapmak (to do) and kullanır -ebil- (to be able to), expressing ability or possibility. It can be translated as "is able to do" or "can do" in English. The form combines the root yap-, the potential suffix -ebil-, and the present tense suffix -iyor, producing a present-time statement of capability.

Grammatically, yapabiliyor is the third-person singular present form, but Turkish verbs also inflect for other subjects: yapabiliyorum (I can do), yapabiliyorsun (you can do), yapabiliyoruz (we can do), yapabiliyorlar (they can do). The construction is widely used to indicate that someone has the ability to perform an action in the current or general sense. Negative and interrogative forms exist as well: yapamıyorlar means "they cannot do," and yapabilir misin? asks "can you do it?"

Usage notes: -ebil-/-abil- expresses potential or ability and is applied to verbs regardless of tense in construction, with Turkish suffixal harmony. Yapabiliyor often appears in everyday speech to discuss capabilities, tasks, or possibilities, sometimes overlapping with modal meanings similar to "can" in English. Related forms include yapabilir (can do, with a more general or potential nuance) and yapabilmek (the base infinitive meaning "to be able to do").

Examples:

- O bu problemi yapabiliyor. (He/She can solve this problem.)

- Yapabilir misin? (Can you do it?)

- Bu işi yapamıyorlar. (They cannot do this job.)
