Questions & Answers about Bu planı hemen uygulayabilmek istiyorum.
Why does it say planı instead of just plan?
Because the direct object is specific/definite, it takes the accusative ending. Bu planı marks “this plan” as a definite object.
- Definite object: Bu planı …
- Indefinite object: bir plan … (no accusative)
Without bu, planı still refers to “the plan” known from context; plan (no -ı) would be “a plan.”
What nuance does -abilmek add compared to uygulamak istiyorum?
-abilmek expresses ability/permission/possibility.
- … uygulamak istiyorum = I want to implement it (simple desire to do the action).
- … uygulayabilmek istiyorum = I want to be able to implement it (there’s currently some obstacle like permission, resources, or feasibility).
Does -abilmek mean only “can” as in ability, or also permission/opportunity?
All of the above. -abilmek can indicate:
- physical/skill ability (can do),
- permission (may do),
- opportunity/feasibility (be in a position to do),
and even “manage to” in past contexts (e.g., yapabildim = I managed to do it).
How is uygulayabilmek formed morphologically?
