It is not easy to write without spelling errors, many times we have doubts and we do not know how to write certain words or a group of them. On a daily basis we use in our oral language, when speaking, many words or phrases that are common to the ear, but which are difficult to put on paper. When transcribing them into written language, we doubt about their spelling or we also doubt if some expressions are written as a whole word or if they are really a set of separate words.
The latter can happen to us when doubting how to write alomejor or a lo mejor as well as many other examples. In this case, we will clarify that doubt so that you do not make a mistake when writing this everyday expression.
What do you need to write alomejor or a lo mejor?
- Books, magazines, newspapers, dictionary.
- Paper, pencil, rubber.
Instructions to write alomejor or a lo mejor
- To begin, it is important to note that the term “alomejor”, written in this way as if it were a single complete word, is not registered in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE). Therefore, we can say that this term does not exist and it is not correct to write it in such a way: as a single complete word.
- However, many people doubt whether this is the correct way to write it, usually due to the fact that we speak fluently. Therefore, we can say that “alomejor” is an incorrect word since it does not exist in the Spanish language.
- Having said the above, we can deduce that the correct way to write this expression is “maybe” as a word made up of three separate words that together give a certain meaning. This is the correct term in which we should write it. “Maybe study.”
- Unlike the previous one, this word is registered in the dictionary of the RAE and defines it as a colloquial adverbial locution that means perhaps, perhaps. In addition, we can say that it is an adverb of doubt, as are perhaps, perhaps (s), perhaps. The word “maybe” is also used as an expression that prevents an unexpected saying or fact.
- To expand the way in which this word is used, here are some examples and the way in which they are used:
- To express a new hypothesis(the verb is in the informative tense). For example: Maybe he looks for his sister at school. /Maybe Martina will bring dessert. /Maybe she has the flu.
- It could be used to express hope or fear. For example: Maybe he loves me. /Maybe he wants to attack me when no one is around me.
- However, it may seem to us that it sounds bad or that it is wrong to use the term “perhaps” to express fear, but as we have already said and exemplified, it is not wrong. Because the word “better” is found in this word, it leads us to think that it only refers to positive facts, such as hypothesis and hope, and not to a negative fact such as fear. It is worth clarifying that this term does not mean that something is positive or negative, but that it is used to express doubts, hypotheses and everything explained above.
