What does "poter" mean?
What part of speech is this? Thanks!

Question

Answer

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
