"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).

[sadiemarie73]

здравствуйте, моя зовут жаред, и я не умею читать

[Realname224896]

I am so impressed with myself for knowing what that means

[basswanker]

Beginner here. Should that be меня instead of моя?

[KiefAtheros]

[Hannanv]

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!

[deactivated user]

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

[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.

[websmasha]

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

[GabrielWP]

Well, I just proved myself wrong.

[jamllette]

I am cured!!

[Rob546105]

[luthrayatin]

[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").

[nonnodacciaio]

Same tbh

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?

[29.bs6s0/UnanYNp]

This word for read sounds similar to the Romanian one.

[Grzegorz633624]

It's simillar in most of slavic languages

[VitalyGavrikov]

Точный перевод - Я не знаю как читать.

[el9in]

I don't know how to read = I can't read (both options are correct)
ps. but first (a little different)

-White soldier when I asked why he doesn’t own at least 10 copies of the Communist Manifesto by bolshevik revolutionaries, 1917 colourised

[Diego447439]

I can't believe you made say that...

[aida190822]

The write answer is. I dont know to read. But u say i dont know how to read. It means я не знаю как читать

[EXPLICITLANGUAGE]

Then how can I answer the question if I cannot read?

[0eUk3]

Я не знаю как читать (какое-то слово, например).

[bibru75]

mood

[Peter857669]

Я незнаю читать?

[ScarsUnseen]

That is close, but not quite it. That means "I do not know to read."

"Я не умею читать" means "I do not know HOW to read." In this context, we're talking about someone ability to read, the knowhow. I hope that makes sense!

[Peter857669]

Я не умею читать. = illiterate (person), analphabet
Я не могу читать. = I lost my glasses. I don't have a book.
Am I right?

[iliamirhoseiny]

What up im jared im 19

[lenix.macd]

I'm pretty sure I know how to read

[Trey427679]

I do not read good

[Koray253880]

[NovemberCoyote]

What is this joke about Jared and being 19?
