Which alternative for 'I THINK' is your favourite? 😉

[@anand_bhasme]

I reckon "It is my belief that" will be my favorite alternative to "I THINK"

How I say I think is my brain thinks it’s people say I sound like a robot

[@LaLa934]

It occurred to me

[@lucp4683]

“I think” the problem here might not be “I think” but the repetition itself. We should avoid repeating exhaustingly any word or expression in any language whatsoever.

[@InstantEnglishUK]

Sure 😁

[@erenyayger3840]

The way i see it, "i think" is really the most common word everyone has to say and nothing cames to mind when we talk about its alternatives until atleast u watch the video.

[@sylwiawajda9866]

I suppose "I think" is not the most common repetition... how about "you know"? ... and in American English this would be "like":
"he was like... and then I was like... and they were like..." 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@samirim6504]

I would say, this a really useful video. My English teacher wouldn't taught me that.

[@Julia_BH]

Hmm the alternate phrases wouldn’t work for my use of “I think.” I use it when I am unsure of my response. For instance if someone were to ask “what’s your favorite type of music?” I’d likely respond with “I think I’d have to say rock.” Another example: “what time is your cousins wedding next week?” “I think it starts at 3 PM.” This indicates the responder is unsure but also fairly confident, it depends on the tone used on “think” though. Occasionally I will substitute the word “think” with “believe” but think will always be my go-to since it’s a single syllable.

I would much rather here peoole say "I think" than "I feel". When some says something similar to, "I feel like the person in the left lane should have gone first at the stop.", I often respond, "What did that feel like."
Thank you for this demonstration as I don't want to be repetitive.

What we learned from the video :
1 ) Different ways to say " I think "
2 ) That harry is a bad employee

[@Nastyhater101coolwhipnibbler]

I’m not going to lie is a foolish thing to say, it’s saying that you normally lie. You shouldn’t have to announce that you’re not going to lie, not lying should be expected.

[@StressHaze]

@@Nastyhater101coolwhipnibbler no. Everyone lies , saying ngl declares that the opinion you're about to give is gonna be the genuine. People lie while giving compliments , trying to be nice. So saying not gonna lie helps others know you're not gonna lie to be nice or anything.
