Tentang そうもない

そうもない is an expression used with verbs in Japanese, to indicate that some particular action is very unlikely. It is a combination of the auxiliary verb そう, the adverbial particle も, and the い-Adjective ない.

To recap, one of the primary uses of そう is to highlight appearance. Therefore, そうもない literally means 'to not even appear like (A)'. This structure will be used after verbs in their conjunctive form.

Caution

そうもない is very similar to そうにない. The primary difference being that そうもない is stronger. This is due to も expressing something that is surprising (or for emphasis), while simply marks a location (or state) within which something does or does not exist. The difference can be understood as follows:

(A) そうもない - To not even look like (A), where 'even' emphasizes (A).

(A) そうにない - To not be looking like (A), where 'be' marks where (A) is 'not' existing.

Caution

そうもない is an expression that is very commonly used with potential verbs, in order to convey that the 'possibility' of something cannot be observed. While this translates as 'to not appear as if (A) can be done', realistically it comes across quite strongly, similar to 'to not stand a chance of doing (A)'.

        Would I be correct to think that

        あのケーキは全部食べられるはずがない

        Would mean “(It is obvious) I cannot eat all that take !”

        While

        (私は)あのケーキは全部食べられそうもない

        Would mean that it is not a case of “being obvious from the start”, but that something is happening from which it seems I will not be able to eat all the cake (maybe I am showing signs of it even before finishing half of the cake)

        Daru

        はず is more of a prediction/estimate, like you’re contrasting your cake-eating experiences to the now hypothetical cake in front of you.

        そうもない is just stating impossibility, and has a nuance of ‘giving up’ to it, like it’s so much of X that you can’t handle it.

        So yeah, what you’re describing sounds right to me!
