sevimli means cute or lovable.......
Clearly sev is common to both "sevimli" and "sevmek" (to love) but is it actually related directly by discernable suffixes??? If so what are they and how do they affect the meaning from the verb stem?

http://www.turkishdictionary.net/?word=sevimli
lovable; likable; cute
What I was asking is about adding suffixes - or is not sevimli the verb stem of sevmek with added suffixes???
For example would this be a valid word:
pişirimli - cookable ???

So another mistake in the dictionary....... 
sevilebilir - (literally) it can be loved

if you use as a word, it is what i said...
if you use it as a verb of a sentence, that means "it can be loved"
for example:
Bu şarkı pek çok insan için sevilebilirdir.
This song is lovable for many people
Bu şarkı pek çok insan tarafından sevilebilir
This song can be loved by many people

Yes, it is.

sevim
hmm, i dont have any other examples for it...

I do think 'sevimli' comes from the word 'sevmek'.. they are just related like 'to love' and 'lovable' are related.
But I don't think it is built up from certain suffixes that can be used on other verb-stems too.. I hope this answers your question Bod.

The word "sevimli", sure, comes from the root sev(mek).
Think of it just like "giyim", which comes from "giy(mek)".
Here, the suffix "-im" converts the root into a noun. And the suffix "-li" puts a "with" in front of the word.
sevimli = with sevim.
It means "cute" indeed. For example a little pussycat is "cute". In Turkish, "Küçük bir kedi yavrusu sevimlidir."
