(It might be worth noting that there are no irregular verbs in Turkish, the only language I know of about which that statement can be made.) seviş ` to love each other 'As an affix, is makes a verb reflexive. sevişdir ` to cause to love each other' When used as part of a verb, the affix dir makes the verb causative. sevişdiril ` to be made to love each other 'As a verbal affix, il makes a verb passive. sevişdirile ` to be able to be made to love each other' In Turkish, the affix ebil (mek) or abil (mek), depending on vowel harmony, can be added to any verb root to make the verb's potential (or abilitative) form.
