Hi,
I just finish studying the potential form of a verb but now I have a question, let's use the potential form of hanasu (hanaseru).
hanasu is to talk and hanaseru is to be able or can talk, that's why when asking if you speak Japanese you use nihongoga hanasemasuka and not hanashimasuka
Now, the question I have, since hanaseru is a verb by itself, how many conjugations can I have for a potential verb?
Hanasemasu (yes)
hanasemasen (yes)
hanasemashita (yes)
hanase masen deshita (yes)
hanase mashou/hanasenai deshou (volitional is possible for a potential verb???)
hanasete/hanasenaide (imperative is possible for a potential verb???)
hanasete imasu/ hanasete imasen (progressive is possible for a potential verb???)
and the informals
Hanaseru (yes)
hanasenai (yes)
hanaseta (yes)
hanasenakatta (yes)
hanaseyou/hanasenai darou (is this possible?)
hanasero/hanaseruna (is this possible?)
hanasete iru (is this possible?)
As always, thanks for your help and replies in advance.
