Hi, everybody. My name is Esther.

Kumusta, lahat.

Ang pangalan ko ay Esther.

And in this video, we're going to talk about how to use the word ‘can’ and ‘can't’.

At sa video na ito,

pag-uusapan natin

kung paano gamitin ang salitang 'maaari' at 'hindi pwede'.

mmm, so first of all, let's talk about the meaning of these words.

mmm, kaya una sa lahat,

pag-usapan natin ang kahulugan ng mga salitang ito.

‘can’ means you are able to do something. Maybe because you have the skill or maybe

Ang ibig sabihin ng 'maaari' ay may magagawa ka.

Siguro dahil may husay ka

o di kaya dahil

because your body allows you to do that thing. And ‘can't’ is the opposite, right.

pinapayagan ka ng katawan mong gawin ang bagay na iyon.

At ang 'hindi' ay kabaligtaran, tama.

You can't do something. You're not able to do something because you

Wala kang magagawa.

Hindi mo magagawa ang isang bagay

dahil wala kang kakayahan

don't have the skill or your body doesn't allow you to do it.
