When you want to say that something possibly could happen, you use the Danish word muligvis.
For example, if you say: Muligvis kommer han. (He is possibly coming). The word muligvis is an adverb, so it describes the verb.
It is used like the English word 'possibly'.
You can also use the word måske which means 'maybe'.
For example: Måske kommer han (Maybe he is coming).
When you're not entirely sure about something, the Danish word muligvis is super handy. It's like saying "possibly" or "perhaps" in English. You'll often hear it when people are talking about things that might happen, but aren't definite. So, if someone asks you if you're coming to the party and you're not 100% sure, you could say muligvis. It's a great word for expressing a bit of uncertainty.
When you're at the B1 level in Danish, you're starting to express more nuanced ideas. 'Muligvis' is a great word to add to your vocabulary because it allows you to talk about possibilities and uncertainties.
It's similar to saying 'possibly' or 'perhaps' in English. You'll find yourself using it often when you're not 100% sure about something but want to suggest it as an option.
Using words like 'muligvis' helps your Danish sound more natural and less like you're speaking in absolutes all the time. It shows you can handle more complex communicative situations.
Practicing with 'muligvis' will make your conversations more fluid and allow you to engage in more sophisticated discussions.
When you're trying to express possibility or uncertainty in Danish, muligvis is a very common and useful word. It's an adverb that directly translates to 'possibly' or 'perhaps' in English. You can use it to suggest that something might happen, might be true, or might be the case, but you're not entirely certain.
For example, if someone asks if it will rain tomorrow, you could say 'Det vil muligvis regne' (It will possibly rain). It's a great way to add a degree of speculation to your statements without committing to a definite answer. Mastering words like muligvis helps you sound more natural and nuanced when speaking Danish.
When we use the word "muligvis" we are stating that something is possible. It is synonymous with "måske" (maybe) or "eventuelt" (possibly), but it implies a slightly higher degree of uncertainty or a more formal context. While "måske" is very common in everyday speech, "muligvis" can be used to convey a sense of a lesser probability or a more careful consideration of a possibility. For example, if you say, "Jeg kommer muligvis for sent," it means you might be late, but there's a strong implication that it's not a definite certainty.
When we say "possibly" in English, we often use it to express a degree of uncertainty or a potential outcome. The Danish word "muligvis" serves the same purpose, but it's important to understand its nuances for a more native-like sound.
While it directly translates to "possibly," you'll often find other Danish words or phrases conveying similar ideas depending on the context. For instance, "måske" (perhaps, maybe) is very common and can often be used interchangeably in less formal settings. However, "muligvis" tends to imply a slightly higher degree of uncertainty or a more formal tone.
Consider scenarios where something *could* happen, but there's no guarantee. This is where "muligvis" fits perfectly. It suggests a potentiality without commitment. Mastering its use alongside other similar words will significantly enhance your ability to express shades of possibility in Danish.
Remember that while it's a useful word, overusing it can sometimes make your speech sound a bit hesitant. Vary your vocabulary with "måske," "kan være," or even by restructuring your sentences to imply possibility more subtly for a richer and more natural flow.
§ What does 'muligvis' mean and when do people use it?
'Muligvis' is a Danish word that translates to 'possibly' or 'perhaps' in English. It's an adverb you'll use a lot when you're not 100% sure about something. Think of it as a way to express uncertainty or a degree of probability. It’s a very common word in everyday Danish, and you’ll hear it in all sorts of conversations.
You use 'muligvis' when you want to suggest that something is a possibility, but not a certainty. It's milder than saying 'maybe' (måske), and it often implies that there's a good reason to believe something *could* happen, even if it's not guaranteed. For example, if someone asks you if it will rain tomorrow, and you think there's a chance, you might say 'Det vil muligvis regne' (It will possibly rain).
It’s also useful when you want to be polite and not too direct. Instead of stating something as a fact, you can soften your statement by adding 'muligvis'. This can be helpful in professional settings or when you’re discussing sensitive topics.
Here’s a breakdown of its usage:
- Expressing uncertainty
- This is the most common use. You're not sure, but you want to acknowledge the possibility.
- Making a suggestion
- You can use it to propose an idea or a course of action without being pushy.
- Softening a statement
- When you want to be less direct or more polite.
Consider this scenario: Your friend asks if you're free on Friday. You're not entirely sure yet, but you think you might be. You'd say: 'Jeg er muligvis fri på fredag.' (I am possibly free on Friday.) This tells your friend that there's a chance, but it's not a definite 'yes'.
Det er muligvis den bedste løsning.
Vi kan muligvis mødes senere.
You'll find 'muligvis' used in a wide array of contexts, from casual conversations about plans to more formal discussions about outcomes or predictions. It’s a versatile word that adds a nuance of 'it could happen' without being too strong or too vague.
Understanding 'muligvis' is key to sounding more natural in Danish. It shows you can express nuances of possibility, which is a big step in becoming more fluent. Keep an ear out for it when you listen to Danish speakers, and try to incorporate it into your own conversations.

The Danish word 'muligvis' translates directly to 'possibly' in English. It's used when you want to express that something might happen, or that something is a possibility, but not a certainty. Think of it as a way to soften a statement or introduce an element of doubt or conjecture.
§ Where you hear 'muligvis' – work, school, news
You'll hear 'muligvis' in many everyday contexts in Danish, especially when people are discussing plans, predictions, or uncertain situations. It's a very common word, so pay attention, and you'll start to pick it up easily.
§ In a work setting
At work, 'muligvis' is useful for talking about project timelines, potential issues, or future strategies. It allows for flexibility and acknowledges that things can change.
Vi kan muligvis afslutte projektet næste uge.
- Translation hint
- We can possibly finish the project next week.
Der er muligvis en fejl i systemet.
- Translation hint
- There is possibly an error in the system.
§ In a school environment
In school, you might hear 'muligvis' when teachers or students talk about assignments, exams, or future events. It's a good way to discuss things that aren't set in stone.
Eksamenen bliver muligvis udskudt.
- Translation hint
- The exam will possibly be postponed.
Vi har muligvis for mange lektier i denne uge.
- Translation hint
- We possibly have too much homework this week.
§ In the news

Regeringen vil muligvis indføre nye regler.
- Translation hint
- The government will possibly introduce new rules.
Der kan muligvis være flere vidner.
- Translation hint
- There could possibly be more witnesses.
As you can see, 'muligvis' is a versatile word that fits into many different conversations. It's a great word to add to your Danish vocabulary for expressing uncertainty or potential outcomes.
§ Muligvis vs. måske
Many learners get confused between muligvis and måske. Both mean 'possibly' or 'perhaps' in English, but they aren't always interchangeable. The biggest difference is that muligvis is often a bit more formal and carries a slightly stronger sense of possibility or conjecture. Think of it as 'it is possible that' or 'it might be the case that'. Måske is more casual and often just means 'maybe'.
§ Using Muligvis with certainty
One common mistake is using muligvis when you want to express a higher degree of certainty. Remember, muligvis suggests possibility, not probability or certainty. If you're quite sure something will happen, or if you're stating a fact, muligvis isn't the right word. For example, if you know for sure you're going to the store, you wouldn't say 'Jeg går muligvis i butikken' (I possibly go to the store). You'd just say 'Jeg går i butikken' (I'm going to the store).
Vi muligvis tager toget, hvis det ikke regner. (We might possibly take the train, if it doesn't rain.)
Jeg tager toget i morgen. (I'm taking the train tomorrow.) Not Jeg tager muligvis toget i morgen, if it's certain.
§ Placement of Muligvis
In Danish, word order can be tricky. Muligvis is an adverb, and like many adverbs of time, place, and manner, it often follows the verb in main clauses and can appear before the verb in subclauses (dependent clauses). A common mistake is placing it incorrectly, especially for English speakers who are used to more flexible adverb placement.
- Correct Placement (Main Clause)
- Subject + Verb + muligvis + Rest of sentence
Han kommer muligvis senere. (He is possibly coming later.)
- Correct Placement (Subclause)
- Conjunction + Subject + muligvis + Verb + Rest of sentence
Jeg tror, at han muligvis kommer senere. (I think that he possibly comes later.)
A common error would be to say something like 'Han muligvis kommer senere' in a main clause, which sounds a bit off to a native speaker. Pay attention to the 'verb-adverb-object' rule in main clauses (if the adverb modifies the verb directly).
§ Overusing Muligvis
Like any word, overusing muligvis can make your Danish sound unnatural. If every other sentence expresses a possibility, it can make your speech seem hesitant or overly formal. Vary your vocabulary! Sometimes 'måske' is better, sometimes a direct statement with a 'tror jeg' (I think) is more appropriate, or even just letting the context imply possibility.
Instead of: Det er muligvis sandt. (It is possibly true.)
Consider: Det er måske sandt. (It is maybe true.) Or: Jeg tror, det er sandt. (I think it is true.)
Using muligvis effectively means understanding its nuances and when it's the best fit for your intended meaning.
How Formal Is It?
"Det er muligvis en fejl i systemet."
"Måske kommer han senere."
"Han er nok forsinket."
"Måske får vi is efter aftensmaden!"
"Det sker nok aldrig."

Often confused with 'måske' (maybe) or 'eventuelt' (possibly, potentially). While all three express possibility, 'muligvis' implies a slightly higher degree of certainty or a more concrete chance.
'Muligvis' suggests 'it is possible that...' or 'it could be that...', often based on some indication or reasoning. 'Måske' is more general and can be a simple 'perhaps'. 'Eventuelt' often implies an option or an 'if need be' scenario.
Det er muligvis for sent at ændre planerne nu. (It is possibly too late to change the plans now.)
Sometimes overused when 'muligvis' or 'eventuelt' would be more precise. It's a very common word for 'maybe' or 'perhaps'.
This is the most common and general term for 'maybe' or 'perhaps'. It doesn't carry the same nuance of reasoned possibility as 'muligvis' or the conditional aspect of 'eventuelt'.
Måske kommer vi forbi i morgen. (Maybe we will stop by tomorrow.)
Can be confused with 'muligvis' or 'måske' because it also expresses possibility, but often with a sense of 'if necessary' or 'as an option'.
'Eventuelt' often means 'if applicable', 'if necessary', or 'as an option'. It suggests a conditional possibility or a potential alternative.
Vi kan eventuelt mødes på en café. (We can possibly meet at a café [as an option/if that works].)
While meaning 'certainly' or 'surely', in some contexts, it can be used colloquially to imply a strong likelihood, blurring the lines with 'muligvis' for learners.
The primary meaning of 'sikkert' is 'certainly' or 'surely'. However, Danes sometimes use it to mean 'probably' or 'most likely', which can be confusing. It implies a high degree of confidence.
Det er sikkert en god idé. (That's surely/probably a good idea.)
Similar to 'muligvis' in expressing likelihood, but often implies a stronger degree of probability based on assumption or general knowledge.
'Formentlig' means 'presumably' or 'probably'. It's often used when you have a good reason to believe something is true, but without absolute certainty. It's stronger than 'muligvis'.
Han er formentlig på vej hjem nu. (He is presumably/probably on his way home now.)

Comment l'utiliser
The Danish word muligvis translates directly to 'possibly' or 'perhaps' in English. It's an adverb used to express uncertainty or a lack of definite knowledge about something. You'll typically find it placed before the verb in a sentence, or sometimes at the beginning for emphasis.
A common mistake for English speakers is to overthink its placement. It's quite straightforward. Another pitfall can be confusing it with 'måske', which also means 'perhaps' or 'maybe'. While often interchangeable, 'muligvis' can sometimes carry a slightly more formal or educated tone, though this is a subtle distinction and not something to worry about too much as a beginner.
Astuces
Start with 'perhaps'
Think of 'muligvis' as a more formal way to say 'perhaps' or 'maybe'. It's not a direct synonym but helps to understand its role in a sentence.
Placement in sentences
Like many adverbs in Danish, 'muligvis' often comes after the verb in a main clause. For example: 'Han kommer muligvis.' (He possibly comes.)
Use for uncertainty
Use 'muligvis' when you want to express that something might happen, but it's not definite. It conveys a degree of uncertainty.
Compare with 'måske'
While 'muligvis' means 'possibly', 'måske' means 'maybe' or 'perhaps'. 'Måske' is more common in everyday spoken Danish, while 'muligvis' can sound a bit more formal or written.
Consider 'probably' vs. 'possibly'
Don't confuse 'muligvis' with 'sandsynligvis' (probably). 'Muligvis' indicates a lower chance than 'sandsynligvis'.
Practice with yes/no questions
Try answering yes/no questions with 'muligvis' to practice. 'Kommer du i morgen?' (Are you coming tomorrow?) 'Muligvis.' (Possibly.)
Listen for it in news
You'll often hear 'muligvis' in news reports or more formal discussions where a careful degree of certainty is required.
Combine with modal verbs
It can be used with modal verbs to express possibility, e.g., 'Det kan muligvis ske.' (It could possibly happen.)
Avoid overusing 'muligvis'
While useful, don't overuse it. Sometimes a simple 'måske' or rephrasing can sound more natural in casual conversation.
Recognize 'mulig' (possible)
The word 'muligvis' comes from 'mulig', which means 'possible'. Knowing this helps you understand the root meaning.

Hvilken sætning udtrykker en højere grad af sandsynlighed end 'muligvis'?
'Sandsynligvis' indikerer en højere grad af sandsynlighed end 'muligvis'. 'Kan ske' og 'måske' er synonymer eller udtryk for lignende usikkerhed, mens 'usikkert' blot konstaterer manglende sikkerhed.
Hvilket ord kan erstatte 'muligvis' i sætningen: 'De kommer muligvis ikke til festen.' uden at ændre betydningen synderligt?
'Formodentlig' er et godt synonym for 'muligvis', da det også udtrykker en antagelse eller sandsynlighed. 'Sandsynligvis' er stærkere, og 'bestemt' og 'helt sikkert' er det modsatte.
Sætningen 'Han har muligvis glemt sin nøgle.' betyder, at det er helt sikkert, at han har glemt den.
'Muligvis' indikerer usikkerhed, ikke sikkerhed. Det betyder, at det er en mulighed, men ikke en bekræftet kendsgerning.
