You could ask them via the messenger option.
Not live at the moment. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Oh wait, it is. Just didn’t notice it.
But as I figured, no one is in the office at this time, so I’ll get a response by email.
Potential form of 切る?
yes, that’s also 切れる.
I guess they just used a wrong context sentence
That’s why I’m giving feedback…
I thought you didn’t get the sentence, sorry
Ugh I hate it when I’m peeling potatoes and my knife snaps in two
Monolingual definition for 切れる (not 切る or a potential version of it)
I cut it off at #14, since that’s the relevant one.

In this regard, it’s considered just another definition of the same word.
One reason you can be fairly sure it’s not the potential of 切る, is because a knife is inanimate, and generally speaking inanimate objects don’t get potential like that.
For instance, you don’t say that a big sofa “can enter a room” using potential 入れる (はいれる). You would just say 入る (はいる).
Thanks, that sounds logical.
You could also potentially say 入れられる, right?
If you mean いれられる, then you could potentially say that, changing the verb and making it passive.
