可以,may do something (as opposed to can do something)

Revisiting the 能,会,可以 group. (顺便来说,我昨天比较闲就跟tags玩一玩, let me know if the somewhat random assignment of tags is helpful.)
Guardian:
但是,如果你需要我这边提供什么资料,可以随时来找我。(Shen Wei still pretending to be just a professor)
我们可以不说话 (Shen Wei, sarcastically, to Zhao Yunlan: Why don't we just not talk?)
你们可以去一趟再回来. (Ye Zun: you may go, later to return.)
My practice:
在这里不可以大声说话。
你这个泰国咖喱可以吃,但就算对你太辣的话,也不要怪我啊。

Honestly, what's getting me at the moment is all the ambiguities that arise from the double and triple meanings of every word/phrase. It's not hard to think of a sentence where, from context, it's really not clear which meaning of 可以 is meant...
