First of all, "vel" means "well" only as an interjection, not as an adverb. Vel can usually be translated as "Right?" or "I guess", or to make a question less straight. For example:
Du kan vel ikke hjelpe meg litt? = "Can you help me for a second?" (literally: you can well not help me little?)
Det er vel det = Yeah, I guess (literally: It is well that)
Han skal vel ikke sove over? = He's not gonna sleep over, is he? (literally: He shall well not sleep over?)
For your other sentence, it's a really slangy sentence that means "Chinese is impossible to speak straight, you gotta have all that singing up and down."
0 votedJanuary 2, 20170- I think you've got it a bit mixed up. You are probably thinking of the auxiliary conjugation that is させる (Causative). Тhis is added to a verb to mean either that someone gives permission or that someone forces you to do it. The verb 見せる is indeed related to 見る, but it's a separate verb and not a conjugation of みる. 見れる and 聞こえる mean "are able to see/hear", but are also not conjugations of 見る and 聞く. They only act like a potential form for those verbs. All verbs can be conjugated into either a potential form or a causative form: る-Verbs: Remove る and add られる or させる 食べる (to eat) 食べられる (can eat) 食べさせる (allowed to eat/forced to eat) 借りる (to borrow) 借りられる (can borrow) 借りさせる (allowed to borrow/forced to borrow) う-Verbs: Change the syllable into the え (potential) or あ (causative) in that consonant's row 飲む (to drink) 飲める (can drink) 飲ませる (allowed to drink/forced to drink) 働く (to work) 働ける (can work) 働かせる (allowed to work/forced to work)0 votedOctober 24, 20160
