  • 못, the 지 못하다 form, and 수 없다 can all be used to say “can’t.” Each of these three forms is different and not used in the same way. In this video you’ll learn what each one means, when to use each one, and which one you should use.

    So 볼 수 없어요 would be like what a blind person would say? Because literally there is no way or ability for him to see anything.

    I have something to ask about the difference of the meaning "because"..
    왜냐하면 vs 어서 vs 이니까 vs 때문에
    Thank you teacher!

    • @milindingale5235
      @milindingale5235 2 года назад

      왜냐하면 means like the expression in English "If you ask why..."
      And the 아/어 서 is the form where you should include the cause and effect to use it.
      You can use 때문에 in formal speech and simply means 'because'.
      (으)니까 Form also means 'because' but you should only use in casual or informal speech.
      Example:너무 먹어서 배가 아팠어.너무 먹어서 Is cause and 배가 아팠어 Is the effect. I hope this helped.

    Okay, if 못 해요 means „I can’t do it“, then how do you say „I *can* do it“ without using the 할 수 있어요 form?

    • @GoBillyKorean

      It would depend on what it is you're trying to say. You can use 할 수 있어요 if you'd like a simple answer :)

    Question. Is 수 없다 a bound noun?
    I looked up that word one time on naver? And they said it was a bound noun. What is a bound noun exactly?

    • @GoBillyKorean
      @GoBillyKorean  Год назад +1

      A "bound noun" just means it's always used together with other grammar forms (such as adjectives in various tenses), and not used by itself like other nouns - that's really it. But at the same time, it still has meaning and functions as any noun.

      ~기 싫다 is only for informal speech (it's more "casual" sounding), while ~고 싶지 않다 isn't restricted to that.
