                    おはようございます

                    I was studying this lesson (N3 lesson 3: 13/22 nowadays), and found that ‘何と言ってもなんといっても’ is a set expression with its own meaning: after all is said and done; no matter what people say; in the end.

                    Could it be included as a Fun Fact at the end of the lesson, as it seems a quite useful expression?

                    Thank you so much for your consideration.

                    Hi, this is my first time using this and i’m very glad to found it. ^-^

                    I have a question about the second example in this grammar point.

                    「辛いといってもピリ辛だから、あなたでも食べれると思うよ」

                    I think that this “食べれる” might be “食べられる”, but i’m not really sure. I don’t know if it is possible to say this in informal context.

                    PD: sorry for my English mistakes :S

                    Hi!

                    It is indeed the potential form of the ichidan verb 食べる, 食べられる.

                    However, you can find it as 食べれる due to a practice called ら抜き(言葉), pulling out ら.
