Indeed, why ask for less than what you want? - annierats, Nov 10, 2013

A trap for young players as they say Chavo, if you ask for something using puedo tener you may show yourself up to be a gringo ;) that's like saying 'am I able, is it within my capabilities etc to have' - me puede dar is usually a better choice :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 9, 2013
MC, good explanation, however, it goes even farther than "me puede dar." Normally we just say "¿Me da ......?/Dame porfavor .......", etc. or as Annie said. Fortunately, in Spanish we can be polite without "political correctness" - 005faa61, Nov 9, 2013

"Puedo tener" is not what you usually want to say. It is not equal to the English phrase "can I have?". It means "Am I physically capable of having _______?" which is not what you usually want to say.
I would simply say "¿Me das _______?" or "¿Me da _________?". In Spanish you usually ask as a question "You give me ______?".
