Usage notes
| It must not be confused with "to meditate" which employs a different word. The best translation into English would be "to ponder", and a perfectly valid equivalent would be the Latin "cogito". It must be noted that it should not be used to express "I think today might be a good day" or to express doubt or uncertainty. |
