What does 섞을 수 있을까요 mean?
섞을 수 있을까요 means "whether it is possible to mix them" in Korean.
How it works here
섞을 수 있다 expresses the possibility of performing an action. With -을까요 added, it becomes a polite way to ask whether it is possible.
Key expression
-ㄹ 수 있다
An expression indicating that there is a possibility or ability to perform an action.
-ㄹ/을 수 있다 is added after a verb stem to express possibility. The negative is usually made with -ㄹ/을 수 없다. It can also be used to ask for permission, but its basic meaning is that something can be done. It is more everyday and common in conversation than ‘가능하다’ (to be possible).
When it's used
Used when saying that an action is possible because the method, conditions, ability, or circumstances are in place.
