Questions & Answers about Вероятно, через десять лет роботы будут везде.
What is the difference between вероятно, наверное, and возможно?
Вероятно implies a high degree of likelihood and often sounds slightly more formal or analytical. Наверное is the most common everyday word for probably. Возможно means possibly or perhaps, expressing more doubt than the other two.
Why is there a comma after Вероятно?
In Russian, parenthetical words expressing the speaker's degree of certainty are strictly separated from the rest of the sentence by commas. If вероятно were placed in the middle of the sentence, it would have commas on both sides.
Could I use в instead of через to translate in ten years?
No, to say that an event will happen after a certain amount of time passes, you must use через plus the accusative case. If you say в десять лет, it changes the meaning to at ten years old.
Why does the word for years change to лет here instead of using a form of год?
When counting years, Russian uses forms of год for numbers ending in 1 through 4. However, it switches to the genitive plural лет (which literally means summers) for numbers ending in 5 through 9, zero, and the teens (11-19). Since we have десять (10), we use лет.
