Usage notes

 * It is important to note that, contrary to what may be understood by direct translation into English, this phrase only indicates that an event or occurrence appears to be highly probable, without being guaranteed. Le Robert offers the gloss:
 * "fr"

- — selon toutes les apparences, mais sans certitude


 * To indicate the total assuredness of something's happening, one may use more precise phrases or  (both translating approximately as "without a doubt whatsoever") or an unrelated synonym such as, ,.
