Here in Mexico they are interchangeable and you will hear both every day in conversations.

Use them in this way

tal vez = perhaps

quizás = maybe

Answer 3

Tal vez and quizas both mean perhaps.

So when u want to use it in a formal way, use: Tal Vez For informal: Quiza

Please do not use text talk. Please write out the word "you". - bandit51jd, Jun 28, 2013

Answer 4

For our English learners we do not allow text talk on our site. We also use capitalization in our sentences and the proper punctuation marks. Do not use the small "i" for "I".

Hi everyone every one and thank you tnx for your ur time.

For for the word "perhaps", which is more common? or should i Should I use it in every day conversation?

"Tal tal vez" or "quizás"?

Thanks Tnx

Answer 5

I was under the impression that "es posible" was used more than both. At least in Spain anyway.

Answer 6

We use both. I can't say which one we use the most.

If we take results from Youtube:

• Tal vez: 425 thousands of results.
• Quizá: 144 thousands of results.
• Quizás: 397 thousands of results.

Adding Quizá + Quizás results, there are almost the same quantity for "Quizá" and "Tal vez". So I can consider that we use those two words a similar proportion of the times.
