"A lo mejor"

 Can't Post | Private Reply
From time to time, I hear the phrase, "A lo mejor." My guess is that it means " Ar best...", but I'm not sure.

Gracias a alguien que me pude aclarar.

Saludos,

A lo mejor is an idiom that means 'at most', 'at best', 'maybe', 'if at all possible', etc.

Van al cine el lunes?
A lo mejor sí.

A lo mejor, Tal vez, Quizá, Quizás: Perhaps, Maybe.

Folks around here use that a LOT. Almost always, by the context, I would translate it "probably."

Yes, that would be another way it could be translated, according to the context.
