終わらなさそうだ versus 終わりそうもない


What is the difference between the following fragments?

> A: 終わらなさそうだ
>
> B: 終わりそうもない

It seems to me, both means "it does not look like it will finish".

If they are different, how to use each?




Sentence A is closer to your translation. Sentence B is more emphatic and it
sounds like you will be nowhere near the goal by the deadline.

`も + ない` indicates a strong negation (≒"never", "even"). See: [function of the
particle も in 「~も辞さない」](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/40969/5010)
