'아닐까 싶다'라는 표현은 무슨 뜻이에요?
'아닐까 싶다'라는 표현의 구조를 설명해 주세요. 너무 복잡하네요! 무슨 뗫이에요?
아니다 + -ㄹ까 + 싶다
예를 들면:
너무 정보가 많아서, 너무 근심 걱정이 넘쳐서 더 육아가 힘들어진 게 아닐까 싶다.
감사합니다!

It's very similar to "I suppose", somewhat more careful
~것이 아닌가 싶다: "I suppose"
~것이 아닐까 싶다: subjunctive of above. = "I'd say..."
note that the subsentence is transformed to the pseudo-noun '것', and it's suited for past and present.
For the future tense however, ~지 않을까 싶다 is the right variation.
example:
지금 바로 출발하면 두 시간 이내로 목적지에 도착하지 않을까 싶습니다.
I'd say we will arrive at the destination within two hours, if we depart right now.

-(으)까 싶다 : 마음속에 앞말이 뜻하는 행동을 할 의도를 가지고 있음을 나타내는 말.
-(으)ㄹ까 싶다: one wonders whether it might be the case that...
The tentative question in -(으)ㄹ까 functions as a quoted thought.
어쩌면 그가 내 꿈을 들여다보는 것은 아닐까 싶을 때도 있다.
There were also times when I wondered whether perhaps he wasn't peering into my dreams.
You asked similar question 3 years ago.
