能否

能否 is a question particle used to ask whether something is possible or feasible. It is often used in formal or polite contexts to request confirmation or permission.

The character 能 (néng) means 'can' or 'to be able to,' and 否 (fǒu) is an archaic term meaning 'not' or 'no.' Together, they form a question structure that asks if something can or cannot be done.

Whether in business, daily conversation, or written communication, 能否 is commonly used to seek clarification or authorization. It is often found in official documents, emails, or formal requests where politeness and clarity are important.
