However, in English we have another use of the verb “to think” which really means “to believe”. There are those who think deeply, those who think occasionally and those who don´t think when they should, but all three cases refer to the same mental activity. I presume we can agree that “to think” is an activity of the brain which all of us are capable of to a greater or lesser extent. In other words “pienso” (and not “penso”) means “I think”.īefore we look at more examples, we need to give some thought to what “think” actually means in English. It is a root changing verb (yet another one) which alters its root vowel from “e” to “ie” in four out of its six present tense forms. “Pensar” means “to think” and is related to the English word “pensive” meaning “thoughtful”.
