In Arabic there is a distinction between "can" of permissibility (i.e. I am permitted to do x) and the "can" of capability (i.e. I am capable of doing x). Furthermore there are 5 different "you"s. The below exclusively use the masculine singular you.

Can of Permissibility: Yumkinuni an usa3idaka (يمكنني أن أساعدك)

Can of Capability: Asta6i3a an usa3idaka (أستطيع أن أساعدك)

Note: 6 represents the Ta and 3 represents the Ayin.
