@bluepink
lihat is just "to see" while tengok is to move your head to take a glance at it for a while.
Bisa shows your own ability, can you do it or not, meanwhile boleh shows whether you can do it or not as in are you allowed to do it or not.

Bisa vs Boleh
1. the word "bisa" is used to indicate ability. Example: "saya bisa makan 10 porsi indomie".
2. But sometimes the word "bisa" can also be interpreted to allow something. example: "Kamu boleh pulang sekarang"; "Kamu boleh makan pisang yang ada di meja itu".
3. From explanation number 2, then the word "bisa" = "boleh" (synonym).
Example:
a. "Kamu bisa pulang sekarang" = "Kamu boleh pulang selarang".
b. "Kamu boleh makan pisang yang ada di meja itu" = "Kamu boleh makan pisang yang ada di meja itu".
Kesimpulan:
1. "Bisa" = can (in English)
2. "Bisa" = "Boleh" (sinonim) / may (in English)
I hope my explanation can help your study

Lihat vs Tengok
The word "Lihat" and "Tengok" has the same meaning (sinonym).
Example:
a. "Coba lihat siapa yang datang" = "Coba tengok siapa yang datang".
b. "Bayu melihat banyak mobil dan motor di jalan raya karena macet" = "Bayu menengok banyak mobil dan motor di jalan raya karena macet".

"Tengok" with the same meaning of lihat is used in Malaysian melayu languange. It is also the same case with "bisa" and "boleh"
Indonesian also use "tengok" and "boleh", however we use with the different meanings with what the malaysian meanings.
Tengok:
Malaysian language: to see
Indonesian language:
1. To visit
2. To see sideway by turning your head.
Boleh;
Malaysian language: can, to be able to.
Indonesian language: may, to be allowed.
@mistersun , there's no word of "tengok" in javanese.
