-ㄹ 수 있다 vs. -도 되다 My guess is that -ㄹ 수 있다 is the physical ability to do something, and -도 되다 is the re-assurance that it is okay to do what the receiver is about to do. 맞아죠?

맞아죠? should be 맞죠? And, yes you're right! ㄹ 수 있다 means you have the ability to do something and -도 되다 is asking if/letting someone know if something is okay to do or not. ^^
