Can’t be certified to carry passengers if it can’t takeoff with an engine failure.
So yes, it can takeoff with the loss of one engine.

No plane takes off with one engine. As a matter of fact, some twin engine planes have a best rate of climb with critical engine out in the negative numbers, meaning the best you can do is maintain a controllable airspeed and slow descent with one engine.
What becomes the issue is the airflow over the rudder and stabilizer. If you lose enough airflow, there is no ability in the rudder to counteract the high torque from the operating engine, and thus you roll over and pancake.

Thank you. Sounds like a mistake, so sad.

So yes, it can takeoff with the loss of one engine.That depends on the weight load, the air temperature, and when the failure occurs.
If you take off (climb) and you turn (bank) and one engine fails, you can be in a non-recoverable position. It depends a lot on which engine. The laws of physics and aerodynamics rule over certifications.
