Is it correct to say? Is it correct to say: I want to tell you something, can I? I want to tell you something, may I?

Informally, you may hear either one, meaning the same thing. But technically the person is asking permission so the correct form is 'may I'. Not 'can I’ which actually means 'am I capable of doing'
