Using Verbs – Can do something
Most probably all you guys can still remember the use of Verbs. Today, I will show you how to use verbs to express “Can Do Something”
Example
Can See – Mieru
Can Talk – Hanaseru
Can Walk – Arukeru
For this usage, we have to use the “4th sound” of hiragana (a i u e o).
