Notes & Vocabulary

Grammar Notes:

■ お金(かね)を　もって　きて　もいい　です。 (You) may bring money.

The 〜てもいい construction means “you may” or “it is allowed.” Tack もいい (also okay) after the て form of a verb to make that act permissible:

食(た)べても　いい　です　か？　Is it all right to eat?
しつもん　しても　いい　です　か？ May I ask a question?
どっち　でも　いい　です。 Either way is fine.
なんでも　いい　です。 Anything is fine.

You can also use it with a negative to mean “there’s no need” or “you don’t have to…”

きんちょう　しなくても　いい　です　よ。 There’s no need to be that tense.
おさけを　のまなくても　いい　です。 You don’t have to drink sake. [The お before さけ is polite language]
