常见错误
Missing the 'လို့' particle which links the verb to the permission request.
Combining 'ရမယ်' and 'သင့်တယ်' is redundant. Use only one modal.
'မလုပ်ရဘူး' usually means 'I am forbidden from doing it', not 'I don't have to'.

常见问题 (6)
ရတယ် (ya de) for permission or possibility (e.g., 'Can I sit?'). Use တတ်တယ် (tat de) for learned skills (e.g., 'I can speak Burmese').ရတယ် means 'It's okay' or 'I can do it.' It's very common in daily conversation.
