Can You Correctly Use “kitto” and “zettaini” and “kanarazu”?

I’d say the way to use “きっと (kitto)”, “絶対ぜったい (zettaini)” and “必かならず (kanarazu)” might make you get confused. However, don’t worry about it! You would be able to use them from today after reading this. Let me introduce how to naturally use them today!

きっと___ (kitto)

I’m sure ___

“きっと___ (kitto)” means “I’m sure ___” and which is used when you are making a guess about something and you’re pretty confident in your guess. You can imagine that the confidence level of someone who says “きっと___” is maybe about 60-70%. Furthermore, even someone knows that something probably won’t happen, however, when he/she hopes about it, he/she uses “きっと___”. Everybody uses this word in both casual and business situations. Lastly, “きっと” sounds pretty positive.

絶対ぜったいに___ (zettai ni)

I’m positive ___

“絶対ぜったいに (zettai ni)” means “I’m positive ___” and which is used when you are making a guess about something and you’re quite confident in your guess. You can imagine that the confidence level of someone who says “絶対ぜったいに” is maybe about 80-90%. Everybody uses this word in both casual and business situations. The way to use it is that “絶対ぜったいに___(verb)する” and “絶対ぜったい___(noun)です” which sounds native speakers.

必かならず___(kanarazu)
