Può controllare nel sistema?

Pronunciación

'Controllare' — con-trol-LA-re. Four syllables.

Cuándo usarla

Use when you do not have a receipt but believe the shop has a record of your purchase. Many Italian shops keep purchase histories especially for loyalty card holders.

Qué significa

'Può' is the third-person singular polite form of 'potere' (can/may) — it is the formal 'lei' conjugation. 'Controllare' means to check or verify. 'Nel sistema' means in the system — 'nel' is 'in + il'. This is a polite and reasonable request.
