Concise Oxford Paravia Italian Dictionary © 2009 Pearson Paravia Bruno Mondadori spa e Oxford University Press:
able / ˈeɪbl/ To be able to meaning can is usually translated by the verb potere: I was not able to go = non ci sono potuto andare; I was not able to help him = non ho potuto aiutarlo. - The main exception to this occurs when to be able to implies the acquiring of a skill, when sapere is used: he’s nine and he’s still not able to read = ha nove anni e ancora non sa leggere. - Note that to be able to in the past is translated by riuscire, especially when some effort is implied: compare He could swim very well = sapeva nuotare benissimo, and he was able to swim ashore before he fainted = riuscì a nuotare fino a riva prima di svenire. - For more examples and other uses, see the entry below. agg.
