#思う

[languagestudymaterials]

Different particles + 思う

に、と、を ＋ 思う

～と思う = expressing your opinion, wishes, desires. 

彼女は美しいと思う。I think (opinion) she is nice.

来年、日本に行きたいと思う。I would like to (desire) go to Japan next year.

～を思う = showing the object of our thoughts. 

You're not expressing an opinion. It’s pointing to a thing (abstract or concrete) or a person we have in mind.

恋人を思う。I think about my significant other. (I'm actively thinking about him - what they are doing, etc.)

～に思う = expressing your emotions.

Since it is expressing emotions, it is paired with words denoting emotions like 残念 (ざんねん).

疑問に思う。 I have doubts. I feel doubtful about something.

疑問 (ぎもん) - doubts

彼が言ったことを疑問に思う。I have doubts about what he has said.

Many Japanese words have the same English translation but different connotation. 「考える」 (Kangaeru) and 「思う」 (Omou) are one of such Japanese words and both are translated as “To think”. These words can also be translated as “To consider”, “To suppose”, “To guess” and “To imagine”. 「考える」 and 「思う」 are probably one of the most used verbs in the daily conversation as well as in a business situation. You may choose which word to use depending on the situation or to avoid using the same words again and again.

考える is defined as “to make a logical judgement”. 考える is a verb that is often spoken from a more objective perspective compared to 思う. This is effective when you want to make your speech more convincing or give a strong impression.

思う is defined as to make an emotional judgement. While 考える is thinking from an objective perspective, 思う represents a more subjective imagination. 思う is used when you make judgments with your heart, and when you cannot explain logically and reasonably.

考える is thinking that involves intelligence. 考える means making judgments with your head, not your heart. The process of 考える involves drawing conclusions and predicting things with clear reasoning. On the other hand, 思う is thinking that involves feelings and emotions. In the Kanji 思, there is 心 in the bottom. 心 means heart and emotion. This suggests that 思う is used when there are human emotions involved. The word 思う means not only to think but also to make predictions, remember, hope, and wish. The act of 思う does not involve intellectual analysis, but the act of 考える is to use the brain to derive an answer.

There are some situations where both 考える and 思う can be used. For example, both sentences あなたのことを思う (anatano koto o omou) and あなたのことを考える (anatano koto o kangaeru) can be translated as “I’m thinking about you” but they have a different undertone When 思う is used, it represents one’s feelings of missing or worrying about the other. Whereas sentence with 考える, it represents one’s being thoughtful about the other person.

2024/12/15 寝起きのコインランドリー

昨日は日勤だった。日勤の日は勤務時間にして夜勤の半分程なのに夜勤よりも疲れる気がする。帰ると何もしたくない。帰宅早々洗濯機を回しバイト終わりの子を迎えに行く。迎えから戻ったらコインランドリーに乾燥に行けば良いと思っていた。帰宅して簡単な夕食を作り子どもたちと食べる。こたつに入ってだらだらしていたらすっかり洗濯のことを忘れていた。気づけばもうすぐコインランドリーが閉まる時間。冬だし臭くなることも無いと信じ明日の朝にしようと諦めて眠りにつく。

先日の休みに歩いた山の記録も書きかけでまだ途中になっている。もう一週間が過ぎる。冬がどんどん先を歩いて行って追いつけない。

目が覚めて6時。まだ薄暗い中コインランドリーに向かう。眠った後はまだ動ける。眠りって大事だ。もう長い間睡眠とはあまり上手に付き合えていないのを残念に思う。冷たく濡れた洗濯物をドラムの中に入れてカードを入れる。30分。その間に昨夜荷物が届いているとメールが来ていたロッカーへ向かう。荷物を受け取り近くのコンビニで温かいコーヒーを買いコインランドリーに戻る。

店内のテーブルに朝日が差し込むのを眺めながら少し日常を振り返る。最近買ったスケジュール帳は予定よりも出来事。日々こんなにも慌ただしくごちゃごちゃとしているのにあっという間に１年が過ぎるので少しでも記録しておいたらさらりと過ぎてしまう１年がもったいなくないかもしれない、なんて思ったり。

洗濯物をたたんでカゴに入れ帰路。すっかり明るくなってすれ違う車も増えた。そういえば今日は日曜日だった。帰ってたたんだ洗濯物をしまう。日がさしている庭に出て鉢植えや植木の様子を見る。こんなに寒くても葉の多い紫陽花の鉢植えは気を抜くとすぐに萎れてしまう。鉢植えだと植物自身も限界があって不自由なのだなと思う。気まぐれに挿し木をしたバラは随分と枝を伸ばし、花自体も最初の頃より大きく立派になってきた。冬が来たのにまだ蕾をつけ花を咲かせている。バラってすごい。

今日も細切れの一日が始まる。夜勤なので昼間眠れると良いな。

Is it okay if I ask why you add an "S" to Zack's name? Is it a nickname of sorts that you came up with? I'm sorry if this is rude to ask.

not at all rude!

short answer: habit!

long answer:

In japanese his name is 「ザックス」 romanized it'd be "zakkusu" with a distinct S/X sound at the end. For a pretty long time it was officially spelled "Zax". This is a super duper personal preference thing but I didn't like the spelling even at the time and spelled it "Zacks" instead.

Later Zacks' localized name became "Zack" losing the S/X sound. I felt this made his name a completely different name altogether and stubbornly decided to keep calling him Zacks. (been spelling it wrong long enough anyway lol) In Japanese his name has not changed at all and is still 「ザックス」 with the S/X sound at the end.

It's something I'm doing by myself and I totally get it if it seems weird.

2023.03.16（Sat） 新幹線がようやく開通しました。 ところで「光る君へ」のテーマ曲を作曲した冬野ユミさんの「Amethyst」。 新婚旅行に福井県の越前海岸で見た海が、「濃い青、群青色というか紫というか、あの海の色がテーマ曲に反映されている」と語られています。 どこか切なげで、紫式部の感情というか心の揺らぎをあらわしているようなこの曲が、福井の海のイメージを表現しているのかと思うと、より一層愛着を感じるようになった。

「あなたはどう思いますか？」 って言われたら、そりゃ最大限譲歩して 「もしこの施設組織の存続を前提とすれば」の限定句が必要になっちゃうから、結果的には「えーーとーーー」＆沈黙になっちまう
