Nói " tôi không chắc nữa, không chắc lắm, theo tôi biết thì, có lẽ là, hình như là vậy.....

Today's our post is about how to express your idea about something you don't really certain, you don't sure.
This below is 7 ways to say uncertainly


1. Perhaps/maybe : có lẽ, có thể ( nó khác với can, could, should: có thể làm, còn perhaps,maybe ý nói dự doán nhưng không chắc lắm)
These two words are used for saying that you are not certain about something, or that something may or may not be true.

He'll arrive tomorrow, Perhap You'll see him tomorrow
I wondered if perhaps he had changed his mind about attending the party.
‘When can you give me an answer?’ ‘I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow.’

2. Probably/possibly  ( có thể - đây là dự đoán, chắc là )  – these two words can confuse even native speakers
probably is used for saying that something is likely to be true, and possibly that it may be true but you are not certain

If house prices are low, it’s probably because there is a lack of demand.
‘Would you consider moving to another country for your work?’ ‘Possibly, I’m not sure.’

3. Apparently ( rõ ràng là - nhưng bạn không chắc chắn )
is used when what you are saying is based on what you have heard, not on what you know is true and therefore fact

Apparently, she resigned because she had an argument with her boss.
There is, apparently, going to be an announcement about the new CEO tomorrow.

4. As far as I know/ as far as I am aware : theo tôi biết thì, theo những gì tôi biết thì 
these two expressions are used when you have partial (incomplete) knowledge of an issue or fact.

No one has complained, as far as I know.
As far as I am aware, the invitations to the party have all been sent.


5. To the best of my knowledge: theo tôi biết thì, theo những gì tôi biết thì  ( khác ở câu 4 ở chỗ: bạn có kiến thức về việc đó, nhưng trường hợp này lại xảy ra khác những gì bạn biết --> bạn không chắc lắm )
This phrase is used for saying that you think something is true, but you are not completely certain. This is quite a formal expression

To the best of my knowledge, no similar book has been published.

6. Not to my knowledge
This is used for saying that you think something is not true, although you are not completely certain:

‘Has the report been sent yet?’ ‘Not to my knowledge.’

7. I imagine/suppose/guess
These are used when you think something is probably true, but you can’t be sure. “Guess” is more frequently used in American English, although you can hear it in British English, too. “Suppose” is more characteristic of British English and is often used in the negative.

I imagine they’ve already left for the airport.
It’s difficult, I imagine, to keep the same enthusiasm for the job after 30 years.
I suppose she must be delighted about getting the job.
I don’t suppose you’d consider staying for another week?
I guess he will want to meet all the team members before the conference.
Please do let me know if there are any other expressions that I haven’t included here.

I hope you found this post helpful. If you did, please share it.
