#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.

波が良かったみたいで波乗り勢が多かった。釣りの人もちょこちょこ。

ひたすら歩いて気が済んだら帰る。

秋は曇りが多い。

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。

*Kabru and Shuro are staying at Laios' place.

T: Eh, why's he... eyeballing us like that?

K: It could be that, maybe he's so tense his mind went completely blank? He's probably not used to it.

T: Hn I guess you're right. I wonder if he's okay.

K: I'll ask him

2024/10/24 晴れの休みが欲しい

秋になった途端雨が多い。いや、休みになると雨。なのかも。海や山を歩きたいと思うのにうまくいかない。良い時期を逃してしまいそう。

枕にしがみつくようにして寝ている猫を見て、平和だなと思う。先のことを考え過ぎると不安しか無いみたいな気持ちになるけれど、やるしかないんだからネガティブになりすぎるのも良くない。難しい。
