אוּלַי

Pronounce it oo-LAI, with the stress on the second syllable. The final sound is like “eye.”

Use אוּלַי when something is possible but not certain, or when you want to make a suggestion gently. In אוּלַי נֵלֵךְ מָחָר, it means “Maybe we’ll go tomorrow.” With a questioning tone, it can also introduce a tentative suggestion.

אוּלַי does not change for gender or number. It often comes at the beginning of a sentence, before the subject or verb.
