Quoting bod: Quoting caliptrix: sevimli
Mostly means "cute". like "şirin".
lovalbe? sevilebilir? maybe this is what you want to say... |
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 ???
|
no, it is pişirilebilir
sevimli is cute
sevilebilir is lovable

no, it is pişirilebilir
sevimli is cute
sevilebilir is lovable |
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.
But i think it has one more verbal suffix: -im
sevim
hmm, i dont have any other examples for it...

Quoting gülüm: "sevmiştim"???? |
i loved.
sev.miş.tim
two different past forms.
sevmişim: i loved (but i dont know that i loved)
sevdim: i loved (and i know that i loved)
sevmiştim: i loved (in past, it was a long time ago, i remmeber that i loved, but i dont love anymore)(like: i have loved)

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."
