Semantics
The French translation is penser, or réflechir (songer à), sometimes croire, see below.
Syntax
Note the presence of the resumptive pronoun so:
- Will we back to work on April 15th
- I (don't) think so. (Je (ne) crois (pas).)
You either know something or you don't, but thinking is an activity, so it is compatible (and frequently used) with -ing
Derived words
- thoughtful
- thoughtless
- an after-thought (ajout après coup: not the same as arrière pensée)
- forethought
- groupthink
