How do you say " may I " in Spanish ? Thanks.

Question

How will you say " may I " in spanish ? for example " may I take the sugar or may I take your book ". Thanks.

Answer 1

You use poder. There is not the distinction between "may" and "can" as there is in English.

Puedo llevar tu libro.

You could also use permitir.

Me permites que lleve tu libro.
