AdverbPerhaps, possibly.
How to use
The word 'może' has two functions: as a particle meaning 'maybe / perhaps' (e.g., 'może jutro' — maybe tomorrow), and as the third-person singular present tense of the modal verb 'móc' (can / be able to, e.g., 'on może' — he can). Note: the source metadata lists this as a verb, but the particle use is equally common. Do not confuse it with 'morze' (sea), which is pronounced identically but written with 'rz'.
