Hi,
Why is the "können" verb omitted in some sentences? What's the name of this phenomenon so I can read more about it?
Sample:
Ich bekomme die Flasche nicht auf = I can't open the bottle
Tks,

Hi, it is not "können" which means "being able to". "Bekommen" ist something complitly different it means "to get".

Asteineba is right. There is no "phenomenon" behind this.
