Subject: just might gen. Holiday traditions may not change, but the way these traditions happen just might.
|
| I agree. |
| Так тут милая беседа о традициях или просьба какая? ))) |
| вполне возможно, что могут |
| если неформальный текст, то будет типа "запросто могут" |
| "Вполне могут" |
|
До кучи: Они оба могут (с) :-)

'.... may not change, but' = 'although .... don't change,' 'just might' (here) = 'may possibly [change] [in future]'. |
|
@23:27 respectfully disagree: the "just" here suggests that the events are upcoming, i.e. just might ~= very well might ~= are likely to happen, and in [very] near future |
|
>> the "just" here suggests that the events are upcoming Whatever gave you that idea? ;-) >> just might ~= very well might ~= are likely to happen, and in [very] near future Here is my morning-after take: Now, the bottom line is that Happy New Year! :-) |

wow2: DISAGREE with me? How DARE you?!? :-) I've been trying to think of ways in which 'just might' could suggest that you're likely to do sth in the [very] near future, and I can't think of any at all, at least in UK English. You're not thinking of 'just about to', are you? That means that you're going to do sth very shortly -- although it doesn't suggest that you're likely to do it, it means that you're going to do it. mikhailS: Thank you for your valuable contribution. Cheque in the post to you .... ;-) |

Amor 71: Cheque in the post to you too. That's 2 x 5 pence = 10 pence that's cost me so far. This is getting expensive.... Happy New Year to everyone, by the way. Even wow2. ;-) |
