"Không + động từ + nổi" is similar to can't V , don't have ability to do sth. For example: My mom asked me to lift the chair. But the weight of chair is 15kg. So I talk to mom that "Cái ghế này nặng quá. Con không nhấc lên nổi" or "Con không thể nhấc lên được " ( This chair is so heavy. I can't lift it ) Another example: When I'm doing my homework, I find it difficult to cope up with, so I say that "Mình không làm nổi bài này" or "Mình không thể làm được" ( I can't do this homework ) And in this sentence: "Tôi không mang nổi cái thân xác này. Nặng lắm." "I cannot carry this body with me. It is too heavy." ____________________________________________________________ Hope it will be helpful for you!
