Answer 1

Here, I think, ur assuming a bit too much. U think that the word "can" means "may I" and something akin to "do u have access."

Rember that "puedo" means to be able. Thus usking if I can use the interne is sorta asking. another stranger if u can use the internet. To walk-up to a stranger at an internet cafe and ask that person if u are able to use the internet is a bit strange.

This is just a silly question to shove in the face of someone that doesn't know you. CAN (puedo) you use the internet? Who knows? I know that u can but the person at a desk somewhere in any country has no idea. U shouldn't ask someone if u have the ability to use the internet cause they have no idea who u are and if u can use the internet or not. So, asking "Can I use the internet" is like asking "can I use Micorsorft Word" or something like that. They'll have no idea what ur talking about.

I hope u get the idea. Dont'd say that.

If ur at an internet cafe - u already know that they have internet access. Just ask what it costs to go on-line and u'll be OK. And yes, they the know the word on-line from Mexico to Argentina. This a world-wide network that we live in. Don't worry about anybody understanding "on-line."

So the answer to ur question is - Puedo usar el internet - is WRONG - Of course u can use the inernet. Just ask what it costs and don't worry if they know if u can use it or not.

Answer 2

If it's hard for you to get your point across in Spanish just say:

"Puedo usar la computadora?" -Can I use the computer?

...I don't think it matters what you are going to use it for but if you want to be exact then just say:

Quiero usar el Internet (not very polite) or what you just wrote:
Puedo usar el Internet?

If your pronunciation it's not very good they will have a hard time understanding. Another thing, you can always write it for them. Your written Spanish is very good and you have no grammar errors! Good luck!

Answer 3

Maybe if what you mean is if you can have access to that service, just say: "Puedo entrar a Internet?" the Spanish speaking people should be able to understand that YOU want to use the internet!!!
Good luck!

Answer 4

If you are asking at an internet cafe in a spanish speaking country that always got me by or try quiero usar. If you are on line they might think your asking if you know how maybe its your pronuciation.
