듣다 and (으)ㄹ 수 있다 I'm a little confused on how to put these together properly. I want to say 'can you hear (me speaking)?' as if in a phone call. The ㄷ irregular is what's confusing me here, which one is correct? 들 수 있다 OR 들을 수 있다 OR ??? Thanks!

들을 수 있다 is correct. 듣다(to hear, to listen) -> future base 들을 ㄷ irregular (듣 -> 들) join (들 + 을 -> 들을) 들을 수 있다 cf. 들다( to take, to cost) -> future base 들 drop ᆯ borrow padchim 들 수 있다
