word-vs-word-cn

【Can】 , 【may】 are often confused in use.

In its commonest sense 【can】 expresses ability, whether physical or mental. But 【can】【may】 imply ability that is granted (as by the will of the people or one in authority).

【May】 fundamentally expresses not ability but possibility .

When the possibility depends for its fulfillment on the permission or sanction of another, 【may】 is the usual term.

The use of 【can】 for 【may】 in asking or granting permission is widespread.
