Grammar 语法
Result complements: verb + 懂 / 完 / 错 / 好
。/ 。
A second verb or adjective after the main verb shows the result: 看懂 (read and understand), 做完 (finish doing), 写错 (write wrongly), 准备好 (get fully ready). Negate with 没: 我没听懂.
What does … mean: …是什么意思？

意思 (yìsi) = meaning. 我不懂你的意思 = I don't get what you mean. Useful phrase: 不好意思 = sorry / excuse me (embarrassed).
Permission: 可以 + verb
，？
可以 (kěyǐ) = may / can (allowed). Answer yes with 可以, no with 不可以 or 不行. For skills learned, use 会 instead: 我会说中文.
