- 1(古語)汝能;thou canst=你能(只搭配 thou)
Canst means you can, but only in old English, and only when you are talking to one person with the old word thou. Thou canst = you can. You will meet it in Shakespeare, in the King James Bible, in hymns, and in fantasy that copies old speech. In normal life nobody says it, except as a joke or on a stage. The little ending -st is the old mark for you (one person): thou canst, thou hast, thou dost. If you are speaking to people today, just say you can.
組成Old second-person singular of can: can + -st, the ending used with thou.
