    Grammar & Usage

    fixed expression
    casual to neutral

    How it works

    This phrase combines the adjectival noun (na-adjective) 大丈夫 (daijoubu - alright, okay, fine) with the particle か (ka) indicating a question, and the particle な (na) used for expressing wonder, seeking mild confirmation, or a softer interrogative tone. It essentially turns a direct question into a musing or self-reflection.

    Sample sentences

    この計画で、本当に大丈夫かな？

    With this plan, I wonder if it will really be okay?

    昨日具合が悪かったけど、今日はもう大丈夫かな？

    I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but I wonder if I'm alright today?

    一人で全部できるかな。大丈夫かな。

    I wonder if I can do everything by myself. I wonder if it'll be okay.

    Quick facts

    usage:Often used as a self-query or when mildly asking someone else, expressing uncertainty or concern. The 'na' particle adds a softer, more reflective nuance compared to just '大丈夫か？'.
    politeness:Generally casual, can be used in slightly more neutral contexts depending on intonation. Adding です (desu) at the end (大丈夫かな？ → 大丈夫でしょうか？) would make it more polite/formal.
