You don’t still know “ikeru” and “ikukoto” ? You Must Know Now

What is the difference between “行いける(ikeru) and 行いくことができる(ikukoto ga dekiru)”? Which is usually used by native speakers? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!

行いける(ikeru) and 行いくことができる(ikukoto ga dekiru)

I can go. / 能去, 我可以去 / 갈 수 있다, 갈 수 있다 / Tôi có thể đi, Tôi có thể đi

“行いける(ikeru) and 行いくことができる(ikukoto ga dekiru)” means “I can go.”. The basic ways to use them are that “私わたしは___に行いける/行いくことができる。(I can go to ___.)”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは駅えきに行いける/行いくことができる。(I can go to the station.)”, “私わたしは図書館としょかんに行いける/行いくことができる。(I can go to the library.)”, “私わたしはそこに行いける/行いくことができる。(I can go there.)”, etc. The tips for using them are that “行いける” which native speakers usually use in daily conversations as casual, polite and formal. and “行いくことができる” is kind of a writing word. So, when talking to someone, you might want to use “行いける” instead of “行いくことができる”. It’s not only “行いける”, there is a lot such as “できる(I can do.) and することができる(I can do.)”, “書かける(I can write.) and 書かくことができる(I can write.)”, “歌うたえる(I can sing.) and 歌うたうことができる(I can sing.)”, etc. Although we can figure out if you say “歌うことができる(I can sing.)”, it’s not natural. “歌うたえる(I can sing.)” sounds natural. Everyone could use “行いける” as casual, polite and formal such as “そこに行いける/行いけるよ。(I can go there.)” as casual and “そこに行いける/行いけます。(I can go there.)” as polite and formal.
