2. Can't use with verbs like ある、壊れる、乾く、曇る.

Khó mà/Không thể

Meaning/Function: Often used in formal spoken or written Japanese to express politely that the speaker/writer cannot do something owing to some circumstance. It is an auxiliary expressing that someone cannot do something even if s/he wants to do it.
English counterpart: "be not in a position to..."; "cannot..."; "be unable to..."
Notes: The negative version かねない is actually a double negative, so it literally means 'can do,' but it actually means 'it is very possible' or 'might.'
Ex. あの男はちょっとしたことで暴力を振るいかねない。(That man might (very possibly) use violence at the slightest provocation.)
