-masının mümkünlüyü

Possibility Abstract Noun

Level 6

The pattern -masının mümkünlüyü translates to 'the possibility/feasibility of [action].' It is a highly formal structure used in academic, legal, and journalistic contexts to treat a potential event as an abstract concept for discussion.

How It Works

The structure is built as follows:

  • Subject: The 'doer' of the action must be in the genitive case.
  • Verbal Noun: The verb root + -ma/-mə.
  • Possessive Suffix: The 3rd person singular -sı/-si links the action to the subject.
  • Genitive Buffer: The buffer -n- followed by the genitive -ın/-in links the action to the word 'possibility'.
  • Abstract Noun: mümkünlüyü (mümkün + -lük + -ü).

Morphological Template:
[Subject]-ın + [Verb]-ma-sı-n-ın + mümkünlüyü

Nuance:
While mümkündür simply states that something is possible, -masının mümkünlüyü treats that possibility as a topic of investigation. It focuses on feasibility (whether something can be done) rather than just probability (how likely it is).

Examples (4)

  1. Sazişin uzadılmasının mümkünlüyü hazırda tərəflər arasında müzakirə olunur.

    The possibility of extending the agreement is currently being discussed between the parties.

    Word by Word: Agreement's extending-its-of possibility-its currently parties between discussion is-being-done.

    Here, the possibility itself is the subject of the verb 'müzakirə olunur' (is being discussed).

  2. Mütəxəssislər bu layihənin həyata keçirilməsinin mümkünlüyünü araşdırırlar.

    Experts are investigating the feasibility of implementing this project.

    Word by Word: Experts this project's life-to passing-its-of possibility-its-acc investigating-are.

    In this sentence, 'mümkünlüyünü' takes the definite accusative case because it is the direct object of the investigation.

  3. Ərizənin qəbulunun mümkünlüyü məsələsinə baxıldı.

    The issue of the admissibility (possibility of acceptance) of the application was reviewed.

    Word by Word: Application's acceptance-its-of possibility-its issue-its-to was-looked.

    This demonstrates a complex chain where 'possibility' is further linked to the word 'məsələ' (issue).

  4. Yeni qanunun qəbul edilməsinin mümkünlüyü şübhə altındadır.

    The possibility of the new law being passed is under doubt.

    Word by Word: New law's acceptance being-done-its-of possibility-its doubt under-is.

    This shows how the abstract concept of 'possibility' can be the subject of a state (being under doubt).

Common Mistakes

  • Omitting the genitive suffix on the verbal noun.

    Layihənin icra edilməsi mümkünlüyü araşdırılır.
    Layihənin icra edilməsinin mümkünlüyü araşdırılır.

    Because this is a possessive chain, the verbal noun must have the genitive suffix (-nın/-nin) to link it to the noun 'mümkünlüyü'.

  • Violating vowel harmony in the suffix -lük.

    mümkünlığı
    mümkünlüyü

    The word 'mümkün' contains front-rounded vowels (ü), so the suffix must always be '-lüyü' to match.

  • Confusing feasibility with probability.

    Yağış yağmasının mümkünlüyü 80 faizdir.
    Yağış yağması ehtimalı 80 faizdir.

    Use '-ması ehtimalı' for statistical probability (likelihood). Use '-masının mümkünlüyü' for feasibility or the theoretical potential for something to exist.

Learn This First

This pattern creates an abstract noun phrase meaning 'the possibility of [action]'. It requires a solid understanding of verbal nouns (-ma/-mə) combined with third-person possessive suffixes, and how these are linked to the noun 'mümkünlük' (possibility) using the genitive-possessive chain.
