  • Posso is usually translated as 'can' in English, especially where permission is involved:

     

    Posso noleggiare un motorino I can hire a motor scooter
    Posso ricevere denaro? Can I receive money?

     

  • But there are occasions when the 'can' is not expressed in Italian:

     

    Mi dà un francobollo, per favore? Can you give me a stamp please? (lit. Give me...)
