| Notes d'usage | Utilisé pour énoncer quelque chose comme si c'était vrai, souvent basé sur des ouï-dire ou des informations indirectes. Généralement approprié à l'oral comme à l'écrit, mais peut sembler moins confiant que d'énoncer un fait directement.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. | Utilisez 'vraisemblablement' lorsque vous pensez que quelque chose est vrai mais que vous n'avez pas de preuve définitive. C'est plus formel que d'utiliser 'probablement' et est souvent utilisé à l'écrit ou dans des conversations sérieuses.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. | Utilisez 'reportedly' pour indiquer que l'information provient d'une autre source et qu'elle n'est peut-être pas vérifiée. C'est plus approprié dans des contextes formels, comme les articles de presse, plutôt que dans des conversations informelles.Use 'reportedly' to indicate that information comes from another source and may not be verified. It's more appropriate in formal contexts, like news articles, rather than casual conversation. | Utilisez 'apparemment' pour exprimer comment quelque chose apparaît plutôt que comment il est. C'est neutre, adapté aux contextes parlés et écrits, mais doit être évité dans les conversations très informelles.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. | Utilise 'soi-disant' pour décrire quelque chose qui est communément accepté mais qui pourrait ne pas être vrai. C'est neutre et généralement adapté aux contextes parlés et écrits, mais évite-le dans les conversations informelles.Use 'supposedly' when describing something that is commonly accepted but may not be true.
