          POTERE means 'CAN'. Io posso; tu puoi; lui/lei puo; noi possiamo; voi potete; loro possono;

            possiamo ==> posse, 'can' in latin :D

            I have been looking for this for so long......duolingo just seemed to be throwing these words, and i couldn't make heads or tails off it.

                                                  English is a latin language (proprio come Italiano) and possible is a result of the latin "posse" meaning "can"

                                                          How about, "Yes, I may"??

                                                            I wish that Duolingo would ALWAYS realize when a sentence, desired to be translated, was inadvertantly typed in the original. It does on some screens, but not on others.

                                                            February 12, 2017

                                                              Why can't this statement be "Yes, I could."?

                                                                Because it's in the present tense.

                                                                  February 9, 2014
