  If I want to ask the question, "Can I see this/read this/whatever?"  would I do this just with a mood, like the optative, or would I use the modal-like verb (on the analogy of German) DUNAMAI?  I'm thinking no mood would do the job. That owuld be like Might I see this?"  To say to a group, "Can you see this??" you would ask "DUNASQE BLEPEIN TOUTO;"  Would that be the normal Koine Greek way to do it? Thanks.
