Erros comuns

Using 'kanske' and 'säker på' together is redundant and pragmatically awkward. 'Nog' conveys the right level of probability.

Wrong: Jag är säker på att det är kanske sant.
Correto: Det är nog sant.

'Använda' is too generic for a formal project strategy. 'Nyttja' or 'utnyttja' is more precise.

Wrong: Vi måste använda projektet.
Correto: Vi måste nyttja projektet.

When nuance matters, 'antyda' (imply) is more precise than 'säga' (say) if the speaker didn't state it explicitly.

Wrong: Han sa att han inte ville.
Correto: Han antydde att han inte ville.

Perguntas comuns (6)

Generally no. It usually follows the verb. In very informal speech, you might hear 'Ju mer, desto bättre', but that's a different grammatical construction.
'Kanske' means 'maybe' (50/50), while 'nog' implies a stronger belief that something is likely (70/30).
Generally, avoid it in very formal academic papers unless you are referring to a widely accepted fact. In professional emails, it's fine and helps build rapport.
You will be understood, but you will sound very 'foreign'. It is the most distinctive feature of Swedish syntax.
Generally, no. 'Ju' is very conversational. In formal academic writing, use words like uppenbarligen (obviously) or som bekant (as is known).
If you stress NOG, it means 'enough' (e.g., 'Det är nog nu!' - That's enough now!). Unstressed, it means 'probably'.
