What is the difference between... Yapabilirim... Yaparim... Yapamam. or, gidebilirim... giderim gidemem I asked a question about how to say "can" and "can not", thinking that you add the suffix "abile/ebile" for CAN and "ama" for can not, but someone replied saying that "yaparim" is the positive form of "can"... but wouldn't that be "yapabilirim"? Basically can someone give me a simple answer :D

Your logic is correct. That "someone" is definitely wrong. I can do = Yapabilirim I can't do = Yapamam I do = Yaparım (I am native turkish speaker)

I can do ........... = ...... yapabilirim. I can't do ...... = ...... yapamam. and .... yapamıyorum. and .... yapamayacağım. I could do ....... = ...... yapabilirim. and ... yapabilirdim. and ... yapabiliyordum. I couldn't do ......= ...... yapamadım. and ... yapamazdım. and .... yapamıyordum I'll do .......... = ..... yapacağım. and ...... yaparım. and .... yapayım I do ............... = ....... yapıyorum. I'm doing...........= ........ yapıyorum. I hope this helps.

well,in turkish ''-ebilmek ,-abilmek'' means ''ability'' .so we add the suffix like that : Let me explain whole suffix : -git (the root fo the verb) : -mek -mak (makes the verb infinitive) now , i can go : Gidebilirim.
