Maybe and Perhaps are synonyms the only difference is that 'Maybe' goes at the beginning of the sentence and 'Perhaps' can go at the beginning, after the verb or as the last word in the sentence.

great question madhavi:) yOU know though these words sound synonimous but still there lies a "deep" difference !! Happiness can be found of things which may not even be beneficial to our spiritual or psychological aspect like we may go out & have our favourite dish & clothes etc., we would feel happy. But satisfaction comes from a kind of achievent, if we get good grades in studies we would get a positive feeling that says "hard word paid off" now thats more beneficial isn't it ;p[ Now peace.... I think it depends on what attitude we adopt towads the "activities" we do for "happiness" or either "satisfaction", peace actually exist in our self, it just has to be found by us. A person of ignorance might feel peace while a hard worker could be strresed. It can be even oposite to that . So peace needs to found by us.

Meaning the same but with different words. Perhaps is more technical, more well spoken.
Synonyms can be any part of speech like... nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs or prepositions.
Examples of English synonyms are:
Smart and Clever
Maybe and Perhaps
Introduction and Preface
Baby and Infant
Student and pupil
Best.

Start with etymology, and move on from there.
Perhaps = (roughly) 'Should it happen to be the case that...'
Maybe = (very roughly) 'It may be the case that...'
So 'perhaps' is more subjective and hypothetical or suppositional than 'maybe', which also introduces a hypothetical possibility, but without the explicit subjectivity of 'perhaps'. The distinction is collapsing in current English, such that one can expect one of these expressions to disappear some day.
Maybe it will. Perhaps I shall outlive 'perhaps'.

Piacere.
They are synonyms...two words meaning the same thing. As in Italian...magari and forse.
Magari is mostly used for perhaps and forse for maybe.
I hope that makes it clearer.

There is no difference, they are synonyms, which means both the words mean the same thing.

They mean the same thing. Alternatives are 'possibly', 'could be', 'conceivably', and here is a colorful one, 'weather permitting'.

According to Webster's dictionary, they are the same.
Maybe he will show up, and maybe he won't.
Perhaps he will sow up.

Maybe is when someone is considering doing something and perhaps is when an event may happen
