Young people love to throw out "extra" sounds and letters from their communication, so sometimes people of a new generation are not easy to understand. A similar situation occurred with the word "mabey." What does the original borrowing from English mean and how did it appear in Russian? How adequate is it to use it in everyday and business communication, which of the interlocutors will understand you, and who will scold you?
Similarity of values
When you do not want to offend a loved one, a leader or are not completely sure of your plans, answer the question or an implicit request: “Maybe.” A simple phrase leaves room for maneuver: without giving final consent, you with a fair degree of probability will not refuse. This is appropriate in a conversation with friends if they ask:
Depending on the context and facial expressions, “maybe” takes the form of consent or a request to postpone the issue for some time. Rummaging through the dictionaries, you will easily understand what the word "mabee" means the same. It is formed from maybe with the help of phonetic transcription.
The English original is no different from its domestic counterpart except in length. It consists of two parts, fused together in the form of an adverb. Moreover, when recording on paper or in SMS, versions from both languages can be safely reduced to:
Appropriateness of use
How often can I use a slang word? Most of them studied foreign languages at school and will easily understand what “mabee” means, even if they do not use English at all. Another thing is that borrowing is almost indistinguishable from the classical “maybe” and in the framework of literary speech looks wild.
You will not see it in scientific works or in an essay, since such a language norm does not exist. And the older generation will not appreciate the replacement and consider such behavior either ill-mannered or unreasonable, because of which the attitude towards you will not be so benevolent. Try to select in the conversation those words that a person will understand without additional knowledge and decryption!
