〜かな

introduction

explanation

*かな* is a **casual sentence-ending particle** used when talking to yourself or wondering aloud. It expresses *uncertainty* or *self-questioning* — like saying "I wonder" in English.

explanation

Attach *かな* to the `plain form` of a verb, adjective, or noun. It is **gender-neutral** but leans slightly **masculine** in tone. The speaker is *not* asking someone else — they are musing to themselves.
