JLPT N5

でしょう

Probably, isn't it?, right?

Structure

Noun/い-adj (plain form) + でしょう / な-adj (drop な) + でしょう / Verb (plain form) + でしょう

Used to express conjecture or probability ('probably'). It can also be used, with rising intonation, to seek agreement ('isn't it?').

明日は雨が降るでしょう。

It will probably rain tomorrow.

Overusing it to imply certainty when it only suggests probability, or using a polite ending instead of the plain form before でしょう.

Think of it as 'I suppose so' or 'I guess so' for probability, and 'right?' for confirmation.
