False. In 原谅 谅 is part of the verb “forgive”. The sense “I expect, surely” appears only in written patterns like 谅他不敢.

- Literary; modern me我to see看…; forgive原谅 = forgive.

Your friend boasts he'll jump into the freezing lake. You doubt it. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
