N2 · Inference / Appearance · 果たして + 句子

Meaning

sure enough; really

Structure

果たして + 句子

Explanation

果たして can mean “sure enough” or introduce a question of whether something is really true.

Usage

Use context to decide whether it confirms a result or raises a question.

Example

果たして予想どおり、午後から雪が降り始めた。

Sure enough, just as expected, it began snowing in the afternoon.

Common Mistake

Do not memorize only one meaning; it has both confirming and questioning uses.

Memory Tip

With a result it can mean “sure enough”; without one it asks “really?”.
