Use of Can

I was asked by someone in our local chat session about when to use Ga i ( I can/ can I) and Medra i (I can). Although I interchange using both forms,I found that I could’nt give a good reason or explain why, has anybody got a simple and quick explanation I can give.Thanks.

There aren’t usually many of these…:wink:

It might help to think of ‘ga i’ (which comes from ‘cael’) as ‘may I’, whereas ‘medru’ is more to do with ability - but they do get used interchangeably a very great deal… :sunny:
