How and when to use “ Probably” when it's compared to “ Maybe ”

Question

Wat up?

I just really would like you guys, more particularly the Native Am.Eng Speakers to explain to me as clear and simple as possible how and when to use the words " Probably " vs " Maybe " in terms of comparing each other. I mean, on what those two words are or should be based on.

Answer 1

These are "adverbials of probability".

Adverbs of probability are used to show how sure we are about a situation or event.

definitely, certainly, clearly and obviously show that something is very likely to happen (very high probability)

• We will definitely be there tomorrow.
• She is certainly coming to the party.
• It is clearly going to be wonderful weather tomorrow.
• They are obviously late.

possibly, perhaps, probably, maybe show that something may or may not happen:

• I’ll probably go out tonight - more likely than not
• I'll maybe go out tonight. - less certain

perhaps and possibly show that something is less likely to happen (low probability)
