| Hinweise zur Verwendung | Used when stating something as though it is true, often based on hearsay or indirect information. Generally appropriate in both spoken and written English, but can sound less confident than stating a fact directly. | Use 'presumably' when you think something is true but don't have definite proof. It’s more formal than using 'probably' and is often used in writing or serious conversations. | Use 'seemingly' to express how something appears rather than how it is. It's neutral, suitable for both spoken and written contexts but should be avoided in very casual conversations. | Use 'supposedly' when describing something that is commonly accepted but may not be true. It's neutral and generally suitable in both spoken and written contexts, but avoid in informal conversations. |
