English-german dictionary > hazard
18 Usage note : may

When may (or may have) is used with another verb in English to convey possibility, French will generally use the adverb peut-être ( perhaps) with the equivalent verb:

it may rain

= il pleuvra peut-être

we may never know what happened

= nous ne saurons peut-être jamais ce qui s’est passé

he may have got lost

= il s’est peut-être perdu

Alternatively, and more formally, the construction il se peut que + subjunctive may be used: il se peut qu’il pleuve ; il se peut que nous ne sachions jamais. For particular usages, see 1 in the entry may1.

peut-être is also used in French to convey concession:

he may be slow but he’s not stupid

= il est peut-être lent mais il n’est pas bête

you may think I’m crazy but …

= tu penses peut-être que je suis fou mais…

When may is used to convey permission, the French equivalent is pouvoir:

you may close the door

= vous pouvez fermer la porte

Note that the polite question may I…? is translated by puis-je…?:

may I make a suggestion?

= puis-je faire une suggestion?

For particular usages, see 2 in the entry may1.

When may is used in rather formal English to convey purpose in the construction in order that + may, the French equivalent is pour que + subjunctive:

in order that he may know

= pour qu’il sache

When may is used with another verb to express a wish, the French uses que + subjunctive:

may they be happy!

= qu’ils soient heureux!

long may it last!

= que ça dure!

When may well + verb is used to convey likelihood, the French uses il est fort possible que + subjunctive:

he may well have gone elsewhere

= il est fort possible qu’il soit allé ailleurs

But note:

that may well be but…

= c’est possible mais…

In the phrase may as well, may is used interchangeably with might, which is more frequently used. For translations see the entry might1.
