Trying to decifer Blinger’s name tag image, I learned a new grammatical construction of the day:

Verb+ㄹ 수 있어 = something you can do.

For example:
할 수 있어 = I can do~
김치 먹얼 수 있어 = I can eat kimchi~
문에 갈 수 있어 = I can go to the gate~

저는 오토바이 탈 수 있어요~ ^__^

I’m simply assuming Verb+ㄹ 수 없어 = something you can’t do…

    Yes that is exactly correct. But verb + ㄹ 수있다 can only be used to talk about ability unlike in English where can may also be used to talk about permission.
