Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "kah" (as in "car") + "PAHZ" (as in "park")/

Meaning

Maybe, perhaps, possibly. In Argentina and Uruguay, capaz is the casual way to express uncertainty without committing to anything. It leaves the door open because, honestly, who really knows how the afternoon is going to turn out.

Examples

It might rain, take an umbrella just in case.

Maybe I will come by later, I am still not sure how my afternoon looks.
