Turkish

<p>
	In this lesson you will learn about the second type of negation with the capability suffix, <em>negating the main verb</em>.
	In this form, you add the negation suffix <strong>-mE</strong> after the main verb, and you use the positive form <strong>-(y)Ebil</strong> of the capability suffix.
	Let's see.

            <td>I may/can do (it).</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Negative 2</td>
			<td>yap-<strong>ma</strong>-y-abil-ir-im</td>
			<td>I may/might <strong>not</strong> do (it).</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>

<p>
	Negative 2 always conveys an <em>ability or willingness not to do something</em>, or a <em>possibility that something may not happen</em>.
	It does not convey the meaning of impossibility or unwillingness.
</p>

<p>
	When used in past tense, it refers to something you were not sure could be avoided, but could.
	For example think of a meeting in which you think you will absolutely fart, but you must not.
	After the meeting, you notice that you haven't farted, so you can say <strong>osur-ma-y-abil-di-m</strong>, I was able to not  fart.
