from the verb “haber” to have, nosotros hemos = we have. You are right, we can is “podemos”.

No, "we have" would be "habemos" in the present tense. "Los hemos" in an online translator becomes "we HAVE them." It may be an idiomatic expression for "we can," but I think it would be clearer (and probably more proper) to say "podemos."

Any native Spanish speakers want to weigh in?
