The words /var/ and /xie/ are are very similar and most often mean 'able, can 会' in the sense of having the ability to do somethingː Either one could be used in the exampleː "I am able to carry this heavy object." The word /var/ is different from /xie/ in that it also serves as a modal word expressing that an action is very likely to happen, as inː "If I don't do my homeword, my mother will probably scold me." The word /cexr/ is most often used in the sense of being able to do some task because the circumstances permit it, as in the exampleː "The rain has stopped so you can go home now." The word /ddo/ serves as a modal word to express permission; "Having finished the tasks, now you may go back (home)."有四个字可以翻译成 '可以, 能, 行, 会，要'. 包括 /var/, /xie/, /ddo/ 与 /cexr/. /var/ 与 /xie/ 非常类似通常的意思是 '能, 会'，有能力去作某些事的意思。两者都可以用在这样的句子中ː "我有能力举起这个重的东西。" /var/ 这个字不同于 /xie/ 它可以用为一个模态的字，表明某行动或行为很可能发生，譬如ː "假如我不作我的作业，我妈妈可能会骂我。" /cexr/ 有这样的意思: 若情况允许的话，就能够做某些事情。譬如ː "雨已经停了，你现在可以回家了。" /ddo/ 这个字用为一个模态的字，以表达对于某事的允许; 譬如: "你既然已经完成了这些工作, 就可以回家了。An auxiliary (AUX) is defined as word which accompanies the main verb in a clause and helps to make distinctions in the mood, timing or direction of the verb.助动词的定义是：一个或几个字在子句或从句中，伴随着主要动词；可以帮助区分‘情绪，氛围’，‘时序，时机’或‘动词的方向’。Compare 另见cexrddocexr-nr-ddoddolaniangossavarxiecexr tsʰə̟ʔ²¹
