### Expressing "The Thing I Can Do"

To describe a noun using a relative clause that expresses *ability* (e.g., "the devices that you can pair"), Turkish combines the ability suffix with the object relative participle.

While standard object relative clauses use `-dİğ-`, potential actions use the future relative suffix `-AcAk` to express "can do."

Add the ability suffix `-(y)abil` or `-(y)ebil` to the verb stem, followed by `-ecek` and a possessive ending to indicate *who* has the ability. Because `-bil` contains a front vowel, the relative suffix is always **-ecek**, never **-acak**. The **k** then softens to **ğ** before the vowel of the possessive ending.

| Subject | Verb Stem | Suffixes | Result | Meaning |
|---------|-----------|----------|--------|---------|
| Ben | soğut- | -abileceğ-im | soğutabileceğim | (the thing) that I can cool |
| Sen | eşleştir- | -ebileceğ-in | eşleştirebileceğin | (the thing) that you can pair |
| O / Cihaz | kontrol et- | -ebileceğ-i | kontrol edebileceği | (the thing) that it can control |
| Biz | entegre et- | -ebileceğ-imiz | entegre edebileceğimiz | (the thing) that we can integrate |

As with standard object relative clauses, the specific "doer" of the action takes the Genitive case (e.g., *termostatın*).

### Describing Capabilities and Limits

This structure pairs well with words like **her şey** (everything) to express full capabilities, or **tek** (only) for limitations.
