hi, the word "can " means ( أستطيع - astatee) it actually means "i can"
and this is how you use the verb "can" with pronouns :
-I can means ( أستطيع - astatee )
-you can means ( تستطيع - tastatee ) * when talking to male
-you can means ( تستطيعين - tastateen ) * when talking to female
-she can means ( تستطيع - tastatee )
- he can means ( يستطيع - yastatee )
- they can means ( يستطيعون - yastateoon )
- we can means ( نستطيع - nastatee )
_Can I have coffee? means (هل أستطيع الحصول على القهوة؟ )
Can you help me? means ( هل تستطيع مساعدتي ؟ )
i hope this helps you :)

Simply:
'Can' is an auxiliary verb. When a question starts with an auxiliary verb, it's called 'yes -No question'. We translate the auxiliary as 'هل'.
'Can' expresses the ability, so you can translate it as 'هل أستطيع'
Can I have coffee?
هل يمكنني تناول القهوة / هل أستطيع تناول القهوة
Can you help me?
هل يمكنك مساعدتي / هل تستطيع مساعدتي
Please note that the verb in Arabic has many shapes with "masculine, feminine, plural, singular, ...... etc.

Can means ( استطاعه/ امكانيه)
Can i = hal astatiie / hal ba'mkani= هل استطيع / هل بأمكانى؟
I Can = astatiie/ba'mkani = استطيع/ بأمكانى
you can = tastatiie/ba'mkank= تستطيع / بأمكانك
We can= nastaiie/ba'mkanana= نستطيع / بأمكاننا
They can = yastaiioun= يستطيعون

(Can) means استطيع or بإمكاني or يمكنني... if it comes as a question like: Can I have a coffee? I'd translate it as هل بإمكاني الحصول على قهوة؟ or هل يمكنني الحصول على قهوة or هل استطيع الحصول على قهوة؟ ... another example.. Can you help me ? هل بإمكانك مساعدتي؟ or هل يمكنك مساعدتي؟ or هل تستطيع مساعدتي؟ ...
To illustrate: (Can) means (استطاعه or امكانيه ) which means (ability) = am i able to have a coffee? .. it may also means (السماح) which is (allow) .. Am I allowed to have a coffee? هل تسمح لي بكوب من القهوة؟ ..
if u have any question, feel free to ask ;]
