pertaining to manuels blog about 'could'.
in spanish, most know its 'poder' or in present tense, 'puede'.
school books define it as 'to be able', just as could is.
or 'can' just as it is in english present tense.
but as a noun, poder is power.

linguistics are cool.

heh. theres no english equivalent for a noun.
unless you take 'can'.....
