Usage notes
- Use 'probabilmente' for general likelihood; 'forse' is more uncertain. Avoid 'magari'—it implies desire, not probability.
- Often placed at sentence start or after the verb. Rarely at the end. No auxiliary verb agreement needed.
- Works in all registers. No regional restrictions. Common in speech and writing.
