Poter , is from the verb [potere] , wich means ''being able to'' ,''could'' or ''force'' . "Vorrei poter andare a piedi al lavoro." ----> I wish i could go to work , on foot. It's said like that so it would be easier to say , and because to vowels meet. other examples : ''Io ho il potere di distruggere una casa'' ------>I have the force to destroy a house. ''Mi piacerebbe poter volare'' -------> I would love being able to fly OR I would love if i could fly'' Get it ? :D Hope I helped you , follow me if you need any help.

/poter/ = /potere/. Molto spesso le vocali finali subiscono un troncamento in italiano. Altro esempio: -- Tu devi far si` che queste piante crescano bene. significa: -- Tu devi fare in modo che queste piante crescano bene.
