Can できます
There are
a couple of ways to say "I can..." in Japanese. The easiest is できます
dekimasu. Let's look at how to form some
sentences.
CAN + NOUN [できます]
| 1 | 日本語 が できます。
nihongo ga dekimasu. |
| 2 | 漢字 が できます。
kanji ga dekimasu. |
| 3 | スカイダイビング が できます。
sukaidaibingu ga dekimasu. |
CAN + VERB [こと が できます]
Actually, the above are all shortened versions without the verb. Let's add the verb. koto means thing, but here it is used to make a verb a noun so it will work with dekimasu.
| 1 | 日本語 を 話す こと が できます。
nihongo o hanasu koto ga dekimasu. |
| 2 | 漢字 を 読む こと が できます。
kanji o yomu koto
ga dekimasu. |
