Çevrilebilecek

Çevrilebilecek is a Turkish attributive participle meaning “that can be translated” or “translatable.” It is formed from the verb çevirmek, which means to translate or to turn, and it expresses the potential to undergo translation. Linguistically, çevrilebilecek is built by taking the passive stem of çevirmek (çevrile- from çevrilmek, “to be translated”) and adding the suffixes -ebil- (to be able) and -ecek (future/relative modifier), resulting in a form that describes something as having the capacity to be translated.

In usage, çevrilebilecek is most commonly employed before a noun as a modifier, for example, çevrilebilecek metinler (texts that can be translated) or çevrilebilecek içerik (content that can be translated). It can also appear in relative clause constructions to indicate future potential. In cultural and technical contexts, the term is used when discussing localization, multilingual accessibility, or planning translations.

Çevrilebilecek is related to, but more specific than, çevrilebilir. The latter generally conveys a broad, timeless possibility of translation (can be translated in general), whereas çevrilebilecek emphasizes a determinate potential that may apply in a given context or at a particular time. Both forms reflect Turkish’s productive use of participles and suffixes to create nuanced adjectives from verbs.

See-also terms include çeviri (translation), çevirmek (to translate), and çevrilebilmek (to be able to be translated).
