🇵🇭 Teka muna! Mas madali ang grammar kapag alam mo na ang mga salita — kung hindi mo pa naaral ang Chapter 26-1 Vocabulary (Housing Culture), i-memorize muna ito! Ngayon, aralin natin ang -아도/어도 되다, kung paano magbigay o humingi ng pahintulot.

📌 1. What is -아도/어도 되다?

-아도/어도 되다 is attached to verbs and adjectives to express permission for a certain action or state.
🇵🇭 Idinidikit ang -아도/어도 되다 sa mga pandiwa at pang-uri upang ipahayag ang pahintulot para sa isang kilos o kalagayan.

[Basic pattern] — Same vowel check as -아요/어요!
✅ Last vowel ㅏ or ㅗ 👉 + -아도 되다 (e.g., 가다 → 가도 돼요)
✅ Last vowel ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅣ, etc. 👉 + -어도 되다 (e.g., 먹다 → 먹어도 돼요)
✅ Verbs ending in -하다 👉 + -해도 되다 (e.g., 운동하다 → 운동해도 돼요)
💡 Remember: “Stem” means removing -다 first! Full explanation in Chapter 4-1.
🇵🇭 Tandaan: tinatanggal muna ang -다 para makuha ang “stem”! Buong paliwanag sa Chapter 4-1.
