「とおもう」の情報

To express that you 'think' something in Japanese, the common expression (おも) is regularly used. As you can probably guess, this is just a combination of the particle , plus the う-Verb (おも)う. とおもう can be used after any verb, い-Adjective, な-Adjective, or noun, but will require after a noun or な-Adjective.

Although this structure usually requires after nouns and な-Adjectives, it is often omitted in casual speech.

Caution

If you want to express what somebody else is thinking, (おも)っている will be used. This is due to (おも) having a sense of 'permanence', and thus not something that the speaker could know about another person. (おも)っている can also be used to express your own thoughts when they are currently happening.

    pasi

    I keep getting "そう____” (I think so) wrong. Why is "思います” an accepted answer (without the initial と) Why do I need だ if I include と?そう is a na adjective?

    Edit: okay I seem to have mistyped it a number of times. I think the answer is correct (with だ … although I’m still a little unsure why it’s needed)
