 I let you have a holiday. / I allow you to have a holiday.

 

 It means you can use the system more easily.

 

 I can only have one day off a week.
Notes:
 
*Don’t use ‘let you can.’ It’s Chinglish!
Use ‘Let you have’ or ‘allow you to have.’
 
*Don’t use ‘make you can.’ It’s Chinglish!
Use ‘mean you can.’
 
*Don’t use ‘just can.’ It’s Chinglish!
Use ‘can only.’
