How do you say "probably" in Arabic?
How do you say "probably" in Arabic, in the Palestinian/Levantine (Sham) dialect? When I ask local Arabs they usually say "mumkin", but it seems to me that means maybe, rather than probably.

Thanks!

In MS you'd say "علي الأرجح" or less accurate "غالباً". Since the dialects usually oversimplify the language, the latter would be used most often (that's the case for Egyptian dialect, shouldn't be much different but I'm not 100% sure about Sham)
