Haha, what a funny (yet slightly terrifying story)! We're all very glad to hear you woke up in time to catch the scoundrel! :p

Oh, I LOVE Constance's tip on if something "suits" someone. You just look at the 人 on top of 合! What a great little mnemonic device! Thanks, ladies! :)

Hi Podster,

Nope! That's not what that means. I just answered him via e-mail as that is where I saw his comment first. Please find my comment that I wrote to him below:

You are quite correct! The grammar pattern 得了/不了 is very much related to expressions such as, 我听得见 and 我听不见. That's exactly how it's used to say you can or can't do something. Here are some other examples:我吃的了(I can eat it all/ I can manage eating it) AND 我吃不了 (I can't eat it all/ I can't manage eating it).我动得了 ( I can move) AND 我动不了 (I can't move).The verbs 听 (to hear) and 看 (to see) are exceptions where the ending character is 见 instead of 了. :) I hope this answers your question!
