Wichtige Grammatik
Use this pattern by attaching '-을 수 있다' to verb stems ending in a consonant, and '-ㄹ 수 있다' to verb stems ending in a vowel or 'ㄹ'.
읽다 (to read) -> 읽을 수 있다 (can read), 가다 (to go) -> 갈 수 있다 (can go)
To express inability, change '있다' to '없다'.
읽을 수 없다 (cannot read), 갈 수 없다 (cannot go)
This pattern is often used to talk about general ability or possibility.
저는 한국말을 할 수 있어요. (I can speak Korean.)
It can also be used to express permission, meaning 'can' or 'may'.
여기 앉을 수 있어요? (Can I sit here?)
Be careful not to confuse it with '-아/어/여도 되다' which is more about permission. '-을/ㄹ 수 있다' is more about capability or general possibility.
운전할 수 있어요? (Can you drive? - refers to ability), 운전해도 돼요? (May I drive? - refers to permission)
Teste dich selbst 6 Fragen
저는 한국어를 ___ 있지만, 유창하게 말하기는 어렵습니다.
The sentence expresses the ability to do something, so '할 수 있습니다' (can do) is the correct choice. The rest do not fit the context.
내일 날씨가 좋으면 우리는 ___.
The sentence describes a possibility based on a condition, so '소풍 갈 수 있어요' (can go on a picnic) is the correct choice. The other options express inability, future intention, or past action.
이 문제를 ___ 사람이 아무도 없어요.
The sentence implies that nobody has the ability to solve the problem, so '해결할 수 있는' (able to solve) is correct. The negative form would be redundant with '아무도'.
돈이 없어도 행복할 수 있다. (You can be happy even without money.)
The sentence '돈이 없어도 행복할 수 있다' correctly uses '을/ㄹ 수 있다' to express the possibility of being happy despite not having money.
저는 어제 한국어를 공부할 수 있었습니다. (I was able to study Korean yesterday.)
The sentence correctly uses '을/ㄹ 수 있었다' to express a past ability. The past tense ending '-었/았-' is attached to '있다'.
이 가방은 너무 무거워서 제가 들 수 없을 거예요. (This bag is so heavy that I will be able to lift it.)
The sentence states the bag is too heavy, implying inability to lift it. The translation 'will be able to lift it' is incorrect; it should be 'will not be able to lift it' or 'cannot lift it'.
