Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between no doubt and undoubtedly?

Undoubtedly states that something is genuinely certain. No doubt is usually weaker and often slightly ironic: it signals a confident assumption rather than proven fact, as in 'he will no doubt blame the weather'.

Is it no doubt or without a doubt?

Without a doubt is stronger and means truly certain. No doubt often carries a hint of 'I assume', so if you mean genuine certainty, use without a doubt.

Can no doubt be a full answer?

Yes. In informal speech, especially American English, 'No doubt' on its own means 'I agree completely'.
