    يمكن و ممكن
    ممكن ( mumken) is the correct word to use and means ( possible)
    يمكن ( yumken)is used for the same meaning in dialects but not in Fusha
    you can only use it with adding ك and so on like:
    يمكنكَ: (yumkinuka) its possible for you ( you can ...) singular masculine
    يمكنكِ ( yumkinuki) it's possible for you , singular feminine
    يمكنكما (yumkinukuma) dual feminine and masculine
    يمكنكم (yumkinukum) plural masculine
    يمكنكنّ ( yumkinukun-na) plural feminine
    ممكنك is wrong in both Fusha and dialect never used
    examples :
    . في العقد الجديد من الممكن ارسال ألف رسالة في الشهر ( fi al3aqd-iljadeed min almumkeni irsala alfa risalatin fish-shahr.)
    in the new contract it's possible to send thousand messages per month.
    يمكنك أن تقوم بتبديل القميص في المتجر لأي سبب كان.( yumkinuka an taquma bi-tabdili-lqamisi fil matjari li-ai-yi sababin kan.
    you can change ( it is possible for you to change) the shirt ( for another) at the store for any reason.

    hope I could help :)

    يمكن , when you use this word alone, it means "may be"
    ممكن , may have two meanings: on its own, it means "That's possible"
    but you can use it as well in the beginning of a question, to ask for something politely,
    like "if you please ..."
    يمكنك , means "you can ...."
    ممكنك , actually you can't say "ممكنك " any where, i mean there is nothing called "ممكنك "

    Hope i could help
