JLPT N5 Grammar

かな

N5 · Other · 普通体 + かな

I wonder; self-directed question

普通体 + かな

かな expresses wondering or uncertainty, often to oneself. It is softer than asking the listener directly.

It usually follows plain forms. In formal situations, でしょうか is more polite.

明日は雨かな。

I wonder if it will rain tomorrow.

Do not use かな for formal questions that demand a direct answer.

Read かな as 'I wonder whether...'
