tbh I dont really get the difference between may and might in English much. We just use "maybe" in german

@igel the difference is minimal but it's there. may can imply permission. might can imply suggestion.

ie. you may do something. (you have permission to do that as opposed to not having it)

a rule book stating what you may or may not do wouldn't use "might".

but in most scenarios it doesn't matter which and they have the same intended meaning

@Ox yeah I knew the technical difference but I couldnt think of a practical scenario where it would matter much. As in, casual conversations.

@igel in casual conversation I can't think of any examples where it would matter. I could only think of in rules as I said lol.

@Ox @igel I think it's much more simple:
might - accidental/uncertain
may - deliberate/certain

Be careful you might (accidentally) slip.
May I (deliberatly) help you?
You certainly may do that.
I might do that, but I'm not certain.

Maybe a bit subtle, but not that hard to pick up if you don't play the language matching game.

Now, may vs can, that's the stuff. Can is hellbent to get rid of may, but there are still a few places where may finds refuge, like... star wars, I guess...
