Questions & Answers about शायद वह आएगी।

What does शायद mean, and is it exactly the same as maybe?

शायद means maybe, perhaps, or sometimes probably, depending on context.

In this sentence, it shows uncertainty: the speaker thinks her coming is possible, but not certain.

Compared with English:

• maybe/perhaps = very close matches
• probably = possible in some contexts, but शायद usually feels a bit less definite than strong probably

Why does वह mean she here? I thought it could also mean he or that.

Yes — वह can mean:

• he
• she
• that

Hindi often does not mark gender in the pronoun itself the way English does. Instead, you often figure it out from:

• the verb form
• the context

Here, the verb is आएगी, which is feminine singular future, so वह is understood as she.

If it were masculine, you would usually get:

• शायद वह आएगा। = Maybe he will come.

How do I know this sentence is in the future?

The future meaning is built into the verb आएगी.

The dictionary form of the verb is आना, meaning to come.
The form आएगी means will come for a feminine singular subject.

So Hindi does not need a separate word like English will here. The verb ending itself shows the future.
