Can someone explain the use of 'guess' in this sentence:

"Well, it wasn't sold outside Iceland, and is quite hard to find, and she was very young, I guess you can download a sample song from here"

In what way is the speaker guessing?84.9.73.24 01:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

In this sense, synonyms would be assume, suppose, think. It expresses a degree of uncertainty. — Hippietrail 01:16, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
