[verb] + 個 + 夠

觸 · Trigger

You want to say someone gets to do something as much as they please, until full.

序 · The move

1Pick the action you mean to indulge in to satiation; that verb takes the V slot.Is the point that you keep doing it until satisfied, not how well it turned out?

2Drop 個 straight behind the verb as the hinge, then 夠 as the cap: V 個夠.個 here counts nothing; if a measure word's count is meant, this frame is the wrong tool.

界 · Boundary

V得 degree complement (V得補語)

V個夠 caps the act at satiation with one fixed ending, 個夠: did it to the full. V得 leaves the slot open for any description of how it turned out (跑得很快).

個 as measure word (量詞)

In V個夠個 counts nothing; it props open a complement slot behind the verb. The measure word 個 sits before a noun and counts it (三個人).

聽夠個 ✗ → 聽個夠 ✓ (個 is the hinge behind the verb; 夠 is the cap and comes last)

你可以聽得夠 ✗ → 你可以聽個夠 ✓ (the satiation cap is the fixed frame 個夠, not 得夠)

看個三本 ✗ → 看三本 ✓ (個夠 means to one's fill, not a count; for counting use a measure word)

English has no fixed slot for it; speakers reach for an adverb ("listen enough / fully") and miss the verb-internal 個夠 frame.
