- This is one of the trickiest comparisons, as 会 (huì), 能 (néng), and 可以 (kěyǐ) are often translated as "can." Sometimes they are explained as: 会 means "know how to," 能 means "to be able to," and 可以 means "to have permission to." Actually, they overlap somewhat.

- The words 会, 能, and 可以 actually overlap a little in meaning. The first step is to understand their basic meanings, though:
- # 会 can mean "know how to" and can express an action that you had to learn or be trained in to do.
- # 能 means "to be able to" and expresses having a certain ability or having obtained a certain minimum requirement.
- # 可以 means "may" or "to be allowed to" and expresses having another person's permission.
- As for overlap, this graphic helps explain nicely:

- The regions marked by letters are explained in the sections below:
- * A: ability in the sense of “know how to” (会 is more common than 能)

- * C: possibility (use 能 or 可以)
- * D: permission not granted (use 不可以)
- * E: impossibility (use 不能)

- '''Note:''' When a question is asked using 能 or 可以 it can be answered with 不能 or 不可以, meaning no, and only 可以 meaning yes. Chinese don't really answer with just 能.

- == <span id="Using_Adverbs_to_Add_Emphasis" class="mw-headline">Using Adverbs to Add Emphasis</span> ==
- By placing 很 (hěn) before 会, it adds emphasis to the level of ability and skill on the action presented. 很会 is commonly used to mean "to be good at" and expresses being very skillful at something, or doing something very well. It can be translated as "really can," as in "you 'really' can speak Chinese!" Another way to put it is, "You are good at speaking Chinese."
- When 很 is placed in front of 能, the meaning takes on a amazed/surprised tone on the action. Although more rarely used, it emphasizes quantity and amount. 很能 is most commonly used with 吃(chī) to eat, and 睡 (shuì) to sleep. It's like the English equivalent of saying you "can really" do something. For example saying that someone "''can really'' sleep" means that they can sleep a lot.
- '''Note:''' 很可以 is not a phrase and therefore can not be used with 会 to add emphasis. Other adverbs like 真 (zhēn), 太 (tài), 这么 (zhème) etc. can also be used.
