"Я не умею читать."

Translation: I do not know how to read.

[jcmouret94]

уметь (to be able to) So, this implies that you are not able to read.

This is a very different meaning to "Я не могу читать", where you are able to but you can't do it (because you are doing something else).

Would I be wrong in assuming that "Я не могу читать" means the same thing?

[Norrius]

That would mean, for example, that the person speaking is blind or has no time for reading, i.e. impossibility, not the lack of the necessary skill.

[Hannanv]

Got it! Thanks!

Well that's something we shall have to remedy, isn't it?

здравствуйте, моя зовут жаред, и я не умею читать

[Realname224896]

I am so impressed with myself for knowing what that means

[websmasha]

That's tragic. I have read lots of books.

[Aino764046]

Is "I do not know how to read" = "I can't read" correct?

[canongigue]

yes, but on the other hand, 'I can't read' does not always mean 'I don't know how to read'. It can mean 'I can't read it because the text is blurred or is too small.

[GabrielWP]

Well, I just proved myself wrong.

[jamllette]

I am cured!!

Whats the difference between умею and знаю?

[Aino764046]

умею = знаю как + имею некоторую практику

[pablopublico]

уме́ть (umétʹ) [ʊˈmʲetʲ] impf (perfective суме́ть) "to be able; to know how to" Inherited from Old East Slavic оумѣти (uměti), from Proto-Slavic *uměti ("to know (how)"), from *umъ (probably from Proto-Indo European *men- ("to think; mind", origin of English mind and mental)) +‎ *-ěti. Cognate to ум (um, "mind; intellect").

This word for read sounds similar to the Romanian one.
