My Korean is still very basic but I will give my meager understanding:

'it's okay but' - 'is all right but'

많이 만들면 되는데 다 팔 수 있어요?

It's ok if you make a lot of them but can you sell them all?
If you make a lot it's okay but can you sell them all?

in other context it seems to connotate:

'turning out like but/and' - 'becoming like but/and' - 'is this way but/and'

헬로우~
조지님 맞으시죠?? :roll: 안녕하세요 :lol:
your explaining is Fantastic...

I would fix Korean sentence a little.
많이 만들면 되는데 다 팔 수 있어요?
--->많이 만들어도 되는데 다 팔 수 있어요?

:!: :!: :!:
son(아들): mom, can I play a game?
(엄마, 저 게임해도 돼요?)
mom(엄마): you can play a game (but) have you finished your homework?
(게임해도 되긴 되는데... 숙제는 다 했어?)

되는데 is short for "되다 + 그런데(근데)"
하는데 : 하다 +그런데(근데)

:wink: :wink: :wink:

It was the best sentence I could come up with at the spur of the moment.
