"他大概不会来。"

Translation: He probably won't come.

[Wadafik]

is this grammatically correct? ---> he will probably not come.

[Robgprice]

Yup, in English "probably"comes directly before the negative element

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Yes, it's one correct option.

[prkoat]

That's grammatically correct

[RichardWrigley]

I am confused. Why is it not "he probably can't come"?

[7ga4Ktv4]

i keep writing can't as well, but as far as i understand it from someones explanation somewhere on duolingo which i read a while ago 会 is only can when it comes to a skill or something otherwise it's will.

[zulu409186]

Its hui, not neng or keyi. they have different meaning.

[Aleksandro_RU]

But sometimes 会 is CAN.
It is really confusing.

[Mama818045]

The drag down hints say 大概 means almost or nearly. Wouldn't that make it say he almost didn't come?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

That's misleading here at best.

"大概" can mean "roughly" when talking about a quantity or a time.

[AlexandrKara]

Can it be "He probably won't be able to come'? Or would 能 or 准 be necessary instead in this context?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

No to your first question, and yes to your second.

Based on the context, I think "不会" should be interpreted as "won't" rather than "can't" (or the future version of "can't", "won't be able to"). It doesn't seem to me that the sentence implies that there's anything preventing him.

Here "能" would be better for "can't" (or "won't be able to", depending on context).

[Hsn626796]

Can it be :

He probably [can't] come ?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

No. "会" is "can" only when it refers to knowing a skill. In sentences like the one presented here, it means "will".

[Hsn626796]

" He won't probably come " was marked wrong.

I reported it; i think i did well in doing so . It's right too, no ?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

I'm afraid not. The order is unusual and shouldn't be accepted here. The only way I could see it working is in the following sort of sentence: "He won't probably  come; he'll definitely  come."

[OkuTain]

My translation should be correct

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Please tell us what your translation was if you want to confirm that it's correct. Otherwise you're wasting our time and attention.

J
He probably won't come

[hhif12]

He might not be able to come

[WIMDispa]

What is the difference between "He won't come probably" and
"He probably won't come? ????

[KevinAbel13]

It sounds like ta pa pie to me at one part. the Ta sounds like Pa to me in the audio.

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

"Ta" is perhaps borderline, but it's often pronounced with more breath than the same sound would be in English.

On the other hand, you might want to try a different set of speakers or headphones...

[Elaine1950]

Is there a problem with...perhaps he won't come?

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

Yes, "perhaps" describes a lower degree of likelihood than "probably".

[1MOiipQU]

Why is it wrong to say "He probably won't come here?"

[PeaceJoyPancakes]

The Chinese doesn't say "here".

[ErnyB]

He probably can't come is incorrect?

[ErnyB]

He might not come is incorrect as well?

[Debonnaire]

"He probably won't ever come." Sounds pretty colloquial to me too.

[deactivated user]

That sounds like he will never come. The sentence here seems to suggest that today, this time, he won't come.

[linda437018]

Why can't i say 'He won't probably come'?
