  5. Hi, I love your site so much. Thank you for all the work you have put in.

    I was wondering if you could write something about how to say "I DON'T want to do X." and also about "can't" using "못" and how it is different in meaning than "ㄹ 수 없다".

    If you cannot that is okay, you have done more than enough with what you have here!

    Thanks again, you really helped me out. Your explanations are very easy to understand and logical.

    Take Care!
