Questions & Answers about Видимо, поезд задерживается.
Here видимо means apparently, evidently, or it seems.
It shows that the speaker is making a conclusion from what they observe, not stating a confirmed fact. So the feeling is something like: From what I can tell, the train is delayed.
It is often a little more evidence-based than наверное (probably).
Because видимо is being used as an introductory word (a parenthetical comment by the speaker).
In Russian, introductory words are usually set off by commas:
- Видимо, поезд задерживается.
- Поезд, видимо, задерживается.
If видимо were used in its more literal sense of visibly, it would not be introductory and normally would not take commas. But that is not the meaning here.
Russian has no articles, so there is no separate word for the or a/an.
So поезд can mean:
- a train
- the train
Context tells you which one is meant. In this sentence, it will usually be understood as the train, because the speaker probably has a specific train in mind.
