अपनी मातृभाषा में
Certainty is expressed with adverbs and stance phrases such as ज़रूर, शायद, लगता है.
वह ज़रूर आएगा।

आपकी सीखी जा रही भाषा में
अंग्रेज़ी में वक्ता कितना निश्चित है, यह modals जैसे must/may/might, adverbs जैसे probably/certainly, opinion verbs, और आवाज़ के उतार-चढ़ाव से दिखाया जा सकता है।
She must be at home.
'must' = मज़बूत अनुमान/लगभग निश्चितता
सीखने वाले अनुमान वाले 'must/may/might' को बाध्यता या अनुमति वाले अर्थों से मिला देते हैं, जैसे 'She must be at home' को हमेशा 'उसे घर पर होना ही चाहिए' समझना।
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
