"Can you say..."
How do you translate: "Can you say _______?" into Spanish? "Can you say..." = does it make sense to say....

I think that if in english i ask:
"Can you say "coche" in english, please?
I'd translate:
"¿Puedes decir "car" en español, por favor?
Therefore, it would be:
"¿Puedes + decir + .....?" "¿Poder-tú + decir + ....?" "¿Can you + say + ....?"
A word by word translation (omitting "you", of course) will give you a perfect Spanish sentence (well, at least one possible way of saying it). Have you tried that?
