かしら (JLPT N4)

Tentang かしら

Originally, かしら was an abbreviation of か知(し)らぬ, or かしらん, which are both ways of expressing 'whether it's (A), I don't know'. These days, かしら is a standalone sentence ending particle that works in a similar way to かも, by expressing the speaker's uncertainty about the previous statement.

かしら may be attached to the end of almost any phrase that the speaker wants to express doubt about.

Caution

Although the original forms of か知(し)らぬ, or かしらん were useable by anybody, かしら is thought to be very feminine in modern Japanese, and therefore is not often used by men.

Quick question: how does かしら work with -ます form, if it’s compatible? I didn’t see any example sentences showing that?
nekoyama
In theory, it can be used with -ます or です in the same way as かな, just put it at the end. But both かしら and かな aren’t really used with people one needs to be polite with. In polite speech, it would be でしょうか instead.

In the forum post there’s still a “casual feminine speech” tag, somehow the “casual” part was lost when the grammar point got its new explanation.

Thanks! I didn’t see the word “casual” in the OP either; my bad!
