The word 'guess' means to form an opinion or estimate without complete information or certainty. It's used both for random attempts ('guess a number') and for expressing uncertainty politely ('I guess so'). 'Your guess is as good as mine' means nobody knows the answer.

「guess」意为在没有完整信息或确定性的情况下形成意见或估计。它既用于随机尝试（「猜个数字」），也用于礼貌地表达不确定性（「我猜是吧」）。「Your guess is as good as mine」意味着没人知道答案。

La palabra «guess» significa formar una opinión o estimación sin información completa o certeza. Se usa tanto para intentos aleatorios («adivina un número») como para expresar incertidumbre educadamente («supongo que sí»). «Your guess is as good as mine» significa que nadie sabe la respuesta.

「guess」は完全な情報や確信なしに意見や推測を形成することを意味します。ランダムな試み（「数字を当てて」）にも、丁寧に不確かさを表現する（「そうだと思う」）にも使われます。「Your guess is as good as mine」は誰も答えを知らないという意味です。

'guess'는 완전한 정보나 확신 없이 의견이나 추정을 형성하는 것을 의미합니다. 임의의 시도('숫자를 맞춰봐')와 불확실함을 정중하게 표현('그런 것 같아')하는 데 모두 사용됩니다. 'Your guess is as good as mine'은 아무도 답을 모른다는 뜻입니다.
