I wrote "Can I walk?" and it was marked wrong. Any ideas why? Or should it have been accepted?

"May I go?" would be better English. Can I go?" implies an ability to go. "May I go?" is a request for permission."

[AnCatDubh]

There’s also the useful phrase ‘אֲנִי מְשֻׁחְרָר?’ (‘Am I dismissed?’). It’s used often in military context, and hence also in a semi-tongue-in-cheek way in other situations.

In case you’re wondering how to ask a cop if you’re free to go, because, based on my experience (warning: foul language) with Israeli cops (and that of many others), ho boy will you need this.

With words like אפשר or מכיל, aside from intonation and punctuation marks, how can you tell if this is a question or a statement?

[BurleighBl]

How would you say, "May I go?"

[genistv]

Wouldn't "shall we go" be another possible translation?

[airelibre]

It's similar, but I'm not convinced it's the same. "?אפשר ללכת" is asking permission, while "shall we go?" is a suggestion, like "?שנזוז?", "שנלך".

[AndrUrugua]

Also, I guess "shall" supposes an obligation to go, not a permit.
