Rentaikei + mai (まい)

The rentaikei + まい (mai) is the negative form of the subjunctive form. まい (mai) is placed after the main (or closing) verb, also when that closing verb is in the polite form, but cannot be combined with verbal adjectives.

Group 2 verbs are often contracted or abbreviated by removing the final る (ru).

彼を待つまい。 (Kare wo matsumai.)
I don't think they'll wait for him. / They probably won't wait for him.

この先はまあ話しますまい。 (Kono saki wa maa hanashimasumai.)
I'd rather not tell you the rest.

彼を待つまい。 (Kare wo matsumai.)
I don't think they'll wait for him. / They probably won't wait for him.

あれはできるまい。 (Are wa dekirumai.)
I don't think that's possible. / That probably won't be possible.

食べ物ではあるまい。 (Tabemono de wa arumai.)
I don't think that's food.

子供じゃあるまいし、それぐらい分かってるよ。
(Kodomo ja arumai shi, sore gurai wakatteru yo.)
I'm quite aware of that, thank you very much. I'm not a child, you know!

NOTE: When combining まい (mai) with である (de aru), you should insert the particle は (wa) like in ではない (de wa nai), since まい (mai) also is a negative form.
