The certainty that’s so uncertain with the word “sikkert”

The certainty that’s so uncertain with the word “sikkert”:

“Sikkert” means “sure, certain”. However, realistic usages actually implies funny confusion:

“Det er sikkert”:

• Means “it is certain” or “it is sure.” It’s a straightforward way to express confidence or certainty about something.

“Det er det sikkert”:

• If you use a translator, it will say that this means “that is certain” or “that is sure.” In reality, it actually express “it’s not sure”. 🤭

“Det er helt sikkert”:

• Means “it is absolutely certain” or “it is completely sure.” The word “helt” adds emphasis, indicating a higher degree of certainty.

“Det er det helt sikkert”:

• Again, translators will say it means “that is absolutely certain” or “that is completely sure.” But in reality, it actually means “uncertain.” 🤣

So, you may never know what’s going on. 😂
