Verb + 得了 / 不了 for “Can” and “Can’t Manage”

Add 得了 (de liǎo) or 不了 (bu liǎo) after a verb to say whether something can happen or can be finished.

รูปแบบประโยค

verb + 得了 (can) / verb + 不了 (can’t)

Here 了 is read liǎo, not le. Verb + 不了 means circumstances make the action impossible (去不了 = can’t go), or the amount is too much to finish (吃不了). Verb + 得了 is the positive “can manage.”

明天我有事，去不了。

When to use Verb + 得了 / 不了 for “Can” and “Can’t Manage”

Put 得了 or 不了 right after the verb. The 了 here is pronounced liǎo and keeps its tone; 得 and 不 are light: 去得了 (qù de liǎo), 去不了 (qù bu liǎo). It has two main meanings. First, whether the action can happen at all: 明天我有事，去不了 (I can’t go). Second, whether a quantity can be finished: 菜太多了，我一个人吃不了. The negative 不了 is much more common than the positive; 得了 appears mostly in questions and reassurances.

菜太多了，我一个人吃不了。

There’s too much food; I can’t finish it by myself.

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย

  • Read 了 as liǎo here, not le: 去不了 is qù bu liǎo.
  • Don’t use 不了 for rules: “You can’t park here” is 这儿不能停车, not 这儿停不了车 (unless there is simply no space).
  • Put the object after the whole complement or before the verb: 去不了北京 or 北京去不了, not 去北京不了.
