Bedeutung
Used to express uncertainty or possibility.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Spain, 'a lo mejor' is often preferred over 'quizás' in casual conversation. Mexicans use 'tal vez' and 'quizás' interchangeably, but 'quizá' (without the 's') is also common in formal writing. The use of the subjunctive after 'quizás' is a marker of higher education levels in many regions.
Keep it simple
Don't worry about the subjunctive mood yet. Just use 'quizás' with the indicative for now.
The 'S' rule
If you are in Latin America, pronounce the 'z' like an 's'. If in Spain, use the 'th' sound.
