merhaba!
I would appreciate if sb could explain the way "can" and "cannot" forms in Turkce.
I know the possibility is expressed by "-ebilir"+ the sufixes for each person.
What about impossibility? Which is the rule?
Cok tesekkur ederim.

V + -ebil-mek (positive)
V + -eme-mek (negative)
When you know this, everything is as simple as knowing how to conjugate a verb. That's it.
Yes we have an irregularity here.
Azeri Turkish for example has only one form.
V + -ebil-mek
In Azeri
bilebilmirem (I cannot know)
In our Turkish
bilemem or bilemiyorum (I cannot know)

for example
i dont i cant
gelmem gelEmem
yapmazsin yapAmazsin
yurumez yuruyEmez
koymayiz koyAmayiz
soylemezsiniz soyleyEmezsiniz
vermezler verEmezler
i hope this helps, notice the inclusion of E after the stem of the verb

Too late for what? You wanted to correct a typo? There should be a Modify selection for your post. Haven't you noticed it?

Gel-eme-mek
Verb stem is geleme. Then add the suffixes.
Ex:
Gel-eme-di (past)
Gel-eme-yecek (future)
Gel-emi-yor (present continous)
Gel-eme-miş (reported past)
Gel-eme-z (present)
etc.
You would do it like any other negative verb.
