FormalNon PastAffirmativeSentence EndingConjecturalMilitary History

This word feels old-fashioned. It is like reading a very old book. It sounds formal and a little strict. People do not use it when they talk today.

This "maji" means "probably not." There is another "maji" that means "I will not." You can tell them apart by the sentence. If "I" am the one doing it, it means "I will not." Otherwise, it means "probably not."

Don't use this when you want to say "unbecoming conduct". That uses "まじき". This form is old. It is not used much today.
