Speculation and Deduction isticmaalno

Mala-awaal iyo Gunaanad waxaa la adeegsadaa marka aan mala-awaalno oo aan samayno gunaanadyo macquul ah oo ku salaysan waxa aan ognahay, aragno, maqalno, ama u aragno inay u badan tahay. Inta badan waxaan adeegsannaa ficillada modaalka sida must, may, might, could, can’t, iyo should. Waxay naga caawiyaan inaan muujinno in aan ku dhowaad hubno, in wax ay suurtagal yihiin, aan suurtagal ahayn, ama la filayo.

Fal hore oo dhammaystiran, badanaa waxaan isticmaalnaa have + V3, halka socodka hawsha aan u isticmaalno be + Ving ama have been + Ving.

  • Must waxaa loo adeegsadaa gunaanad adag: waxaan ku dhowaannahay inaan hubno in wax run yihiin sababtoo ah waxaan haynaa caddayn ama sabab macquul ah oo aan ku rumaysanno. Ma aha xaqiiqo 100% ah, balse waa gunaanad aad loo hubo.

    ✅ It could / may / might be John at the door.

Ought to waa wax yar ka rasmi badan waana ka isticmaal yar tahay. Muhiim: macnayaal kale dhexdeeda, should have + V3 waxay muujin kartaa waajib, talo, ama dhaliil, ee ma aha gunaanad, sidaas darteed tilmaamayaasha waqtiga sida by now, soon, ama tomorrow badanaa waxay ka dhigaan macnaha filashada mid sii cad.

  • Si loo muujiyo suurtagalnimo taban oo daciif ah, waxaan isticmaalnaa may not iyo might not: si kale haddii loo dhigo, “malaha maya”. Qaabka couldn’t badanaa wuxuu muujiyaa aan-suurtagalnimo, ee ma aha oo keliya suurtagalnimo daciif ah.

Shouldn’t waxay muujin kartaa filasho ah in wax ay u badan tahay inaysan sax ahayn ama ay u badan tahay inaysan ahayn wax la filayo inay dhacaan.

Su’aalaha tooska ah ee leh might waa suurtagal, laakiin badanaa waxay u dhawaaqaan kuwo rasmi ah ama ka yar dabiici ahaan wada sheekaysiga maalinlaha ah.
