And Jesus said to them, "The members of the wedding party can't fast while
the groom is with them, can they? For as long as the groom is with them,
they can't fast."

My default gloss is "able" for DUNAMAI but it seems
awkward in English here. Doesn't seem like Jesus is
saying the disciple are not "able" to fast, but
something different. When others see DUNAMAI, what
glosses come to your mind in contexts as these?
