Translations of Mandarin words beginning with 可

I saw in a Mandarin video with words beginning with the character  and I was thinking how we would say these in Teochew Uê.  

I have written tables for you and by now you should be able to recognise our Romanised Teochew. Each table begins with a Romanised Mandarin follow by English translation and our Teochew words.
