xiexieniii Posted June 22, 2009 at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 at 04:05 PM The exercise gave us this example to change into the "verb + 得/不 了" structure: 1. 这么多菜,我吃不完。 2. 我的汉语水平不高,不能学 C 班的课本。 I put: 1. 这么多菜,我吃得了。 2. 我的汉语水平不高,能得了学 C 班的课本。 Just for clarification, "这么多菜,我吃不完" and ""这么多菜,我吃得了" both mean: "When there is so much food, I'm unable to finish eating it all", right? And, "我的汉语水平不高,不能学 C 班的课本" / "我的汉语水平不高,能得了学 C 班的课本" both mean: "My Chinese level is not very high, so I am unable to study the grade C textbook"?

Don_Horhe Posted June 22, 2009 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 at 04:18 PM Your second sentence is wrong. It should be: 我的汉语水平不高,学不了C班的课本. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeyah Posted June 22, 2009 at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 at 05:54 PM Just for clarification, "这么多菜,我吃不完" and ""这么多菜,我吃得了" both mean: "When there is so much food, I'm unable to finish eating it all", right? No, 我吃得了 means I CAN eat it all. If it were 我怎么吃得了 then it would mean: how can I eat it all? (It's just too much, I can't eat it all!)

HashiriKata Posted June 22, 2009 at 06:32 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 at 06:32 PM Your second sentence is wrong. It should be: 我的汉语水平不高,学不了C班的课本. The 1st should be corrected too: 这么多菜,我吃不了 (or as Leeyah suggested: 这么多菜,我怎么吃得了? if this isn't too advanced at this level.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Horhe Posted June 23, 2009 at 03:57 AM Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 at 03:57 AM Yup, missed that one. @OP 能得/不了 is not correct, as you can't use the complement of potentiality with an auxiliary verb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
