Explain the word يمكن
Hello!
I know that كيف يمكنني أن أساعدك means "how can I help you?" but I haven't really understood the يمكنني. I know that the ني at the end of verbs usually means "me" and the ي in the front represents "He/it". My questions:
1. What does the verb مكن/يمكن mean?
2. How is it pronounced?
3. Why do you put the object suffixes on it?
4. Is there a difference in usage between يمكن and ممكن?
The more grammatical explanations, the better!
Thank you in advance!

ممكن "mumkin" means possible it is a noun , for example هل من الممكن ان تساعدنى is it possible that you can help me .
يمكن "yumkin" is a verb means can do , for example هل يمكن ان تساعدنى can you you help me ,
يمكننى it is the verb يمكن + ن + ى the ى is the pronoun here only and it refer to the person who is talking

The verb يمكن mean (to be able to )
So , ممكن means (possible)
When you say هل ممكن ان تساعدني , it means is it possible for you to help me ?
When you say هل يمكن ان تساعدني , it means can you help me ?
