Actual and Use of German können Modalverben Video Lesson
Our lecture on German modalverbs, können modalverbi. In this course, information about the verb and usage of können in German will be given. German können means capability and ability in fashion. It is similar to the verb "can" in English.
Let's watch our video lesson now and understand the subject better with examples.
As you know, modalverbler in German:
KÖNNEN, WOLLEN, MÖCHTEN, DÜRFEN, SOLLEN, MÖGEN.
ORIGIN: means ability.
But this is not intentional ability to do permission, but ability, ability.
For example, I can drive (meaning I have skills)
I think I can drive my father's car (meaning I got permission from my father).
Können is a modal used in terms of skill and ability.
For example:
ich kann schwimmen (ih kan svimen) I can swim.
kannst du schwimmen (kanst du svimen?) can you swim?
wir können machen (wia könen mahen) we can do it.
So it's a matter of talent.
