Pattern: Verb stem + 아/어도 되다 The Verb ending 아/어도 되다 expresses permission or consent. Lack of permission or to be forbidden can be expressed by simply prefacing the verb with 안. It can also be used to ask a question using either the positive or negative construction. In place of 되다 the verbs 좋다 (to be good) and 괜찮다 (to be ok) are also common used. |
