THINK
To have ideas with consciousness (1) Without an object cogitare: intelligere: notiones rerum informare. (2) With an object (a) To think of anything; i.e. to imagine conceive aliquid cogitare: aliquid cogitatione comprehendere percipere or complecti: aliquid mente concipere: aliquid cogitatione fingere or depingere (to form an image of anything in the mind): aliquid conjectura informare. In these parts I thought of nothing but fields and rocks nihil in his locis nisi saxa et montes cogitabam: that cannot be thought of id ne in cogitationem quidem cadit: think for a moment that you were in my place eum te esse finge qui ego sum; fac qui ego sum esse te: to think one’s self such or such an one aliquem sentire intelligere talem (Vid: Cic. Ecl. p. 141). (b) To think on anything = to meditate upon cogitare de re; meditari rem or de re; rem versare in animo or reputare in animo.
To believe suppose be of opinion arbitrari: reri: censere: existimare: ducere: animum or in animum inducere: autumare [SYN. in BELIEVE]. “I think” (inserted parenthetically) credo: opinor (credo like ὡς ἔοικεν implies irony in absurd or self-evident propositions: puto inserted without a dependent word or clause is classical but rare; Krebs). Sometimes mea quidem opinione: ut ego existimo: ut mihi visus sum: quomodo mihi persuadeo (as I persuade or flatter myself; parenthetically Cic. Rosc.Am. 2 6 end).
To have in the mind cogitare (with an infinitive); agitare animo (or secum) aliquid: I thought of going to Rome cogitabam Romam ire (where ire may be omitted; Vid: Cic. Att. 16 2 4).
To remember recordari: reminisci: meminisse [Vid: REMEMBER]: alicujus rei memoriam comprehendere: rei alicujus memoriam habere. To think no more of a thing alicujus rei memoriam deponere; rem ex memoria deponere.
To consider revolve in the mind cogitare cum or in animo or simply cogitare aliquid or de aliqua re: considerare in animo cum animo secum or simply considerare aliquid or de aliqua re (to consider carefully): aliquid agitare mente or animo or in mente or cum animo (to turn over in one’s mind): perpendere pensitare aliquid (to weigh and ponder): (secum) meditare de aliqua re or aliquid (to think over consider how anything ought to be done or to be): secum or cum animo reputare aliquid (to think over anything past or present or of which the mind has formed a conception): apud animum proponere (to place before the mind; Sulpic. ap. Cic. ad Fam. 4 5 end): deliberare (to deliberate). Think of this one thing hoc unum cogita: I think over many important subjects versantur in animo meo multae et graves cogitationes: to think seriously on anything toto pectore cogitare de re; diu multumque secum reputare aliquid; animo contemplari aliquid; intendere cogitationem in aliquid.
To be of a certain opinion be disposed in a certain way cogitare: sentire. To think affectionately toward anyone amabiliter cogitare in aliquem: to think ill of anyone male opinari de aliquo (Vid: Bremi Suet. Caes. 51): to think one thing and say another aliter sentire aliter loqui; aliud clausum in pectore aliud promtum in lingua habere (Sall. Cat. 10 5).
To judge judicare: sentire: (The words are found in this connection and order.) sentire et judicare: statuere. To think differently at different times on the same subject alias aliud iisdem de rebus et sentire et judicare (Cic. De Or. 2 7 30): to think the same idem sentire; idem mihi videtur: to think with anyone as he thinks alicujus sententiam sequi: to think differently aliter sentire; quite differently longe dissentire; longe alia mihi mens est.
To have regard care consulere prospicere alicui or alicujus rebus rationibus: curare aliquid: rationem alicujus rei habere or ducere: respicere aliquid. To think of a person in one’s will in testando memorem esse alicujus (after Liv. 1 34); legare alicui aliquid in testamento (opposed to in testando immemorem esse alicujus).
