Term for "maybe" when answering a question in conversation


If someone asks you a question, for example:

> 明日、一緒に行く？

What is a natural way to say "maybe"?

I am familiar with various ways to express uncertainty:

> 多分  
>  だろう  
>  かもしれない

However I think none of these may sound too natural, or at least express the
same light(?) feeling of English "maybe".

The best I can think of is:

> うん〜考えとく。

Is there anything else that would fit here to express uncertainty?

> 行くかもしれない

Sounds stiff to me.

> さぁ〜

Sounds too rude.




This doesn't directly address the word "maybe", but a very Japanese answer
would be

> まー、行けたら行く。 → I'll go if I'm able.

Like "maybe", this gives the impression that you more than likely won't be
able to go. Also note that most of the time, to a Japanese person this is just
a polite, indirect way of saying "no"; the same way 難しい usually means "no" and
not actually "it will be difficult".
