N4Intention / Invitation

N4 · Intention / Invitation · noun/verb/adjective + に決まっている

surely; definitely

noun/verb/adjective + に決まっている

に決まっている expresses the speaker's strong conviction that something is obviously true.

It is stronger than ordinary conjecture and often sounds subjectively assertive.

こんなに練習したのだから、うまくいくに決まっています。

Since we practiced this much, it is bound to go well.

Avoid using it for uncertain facts; it sounds close to 'of course it is true.'

決まっている feels like 'it is already settled.'
