Master Asking for Permission in Korean: VS+ㄹ/을 수 있어요? vs. VCS+도 돼요? 🇰🇷✨

Unlock the secret to asking for permission in Korean with our latest video! 🇰🇷✨ Ever wondered why ‘VS+ㄹ/을 수 있어요?’ (Can I ~?) gets confused with ‘VCS+도 돼요?’ (Can I ~?)? I’m here to clear it up! Learn why ‘VCS+도 돼요?’ is your go-to for asking permission, using 가다 (to go) and 먹다 (to eat) as examples. Master these forms and say goodbye to common mistakes!

Additionally, there was a great question from a student, and I'm sharing it with you:

Q: Is it like 'may' vs 'can'? Because ‘may’ is asking for permission but ‘can’ is more like a possibility.

My response:
I understand the question regarding ‘May I?’ versus ‘Can I?’ In practical daily conversation, ‘Can I?’ is often used to ask for permission, even though ‘May I?’ is more formally correct. For this reason, I’ve seen learners use one over the other due to the practical use of ‘Can I.’ My focus was on the common usage of ‘Can I?’ and how it might result in the misuse of VS+ㄹ/을 수 있어요? when asking for permission in Korean. I hope this clarifies the intent!
