Conveniently, there’s actually a potential form of conjugation of verbs in Japanese. The potential form is used for personal-related things as well as general possibilities. For Group 1 verbs (うu-verbs). Here, we replace the う u-vowel sound with its え e-vowel counterpart and add る ru. 飲む nomu (to drink) becomes 飲める nomeru (can drink). For Group 2 verbs(るru-verbs). We simply swap out the る ru ending with られる rareru. 食べる taberu (to eat) becomes 食べられる taberareru (can eat). Here a three exceptions you’ll want to remember: する suru (to do) → 出来る dekiru (can do)  くる kuru (to come) → こられる korareru (can come)  ある aru (to be) → あり得る ariuru/arieiru (can exist/can be/possible)  -- Check out the full lesson on potential in Japanese here.
