Think vs Suppose

Think essentially is to brain-storm or to have (an idea or thought) in mind. Suppose is just going ahead with something based on less or no data.

“I think you are right.” VS “I suppose you are right.”

 

I think  based on what you say, I am trying to ponder about your logic and I also feel that you are right.

I suppose  though you have given me some facts, I am not convinced yet, you could be right since you have some facts and I don’t have any proof to state otherwise.

 

 

Suppose vs Assume

Suppose you have 1 crore with you. What will you do with the money?

Assume that you have 1 crore. What will you do with the money?

Both the above sentences have the same meaning.

However, consider this –

 

I suppose you have the keys to our apartment. (I gave it to you sometime back, or you found it somewhere)

I assumed that you have our apartment keys. (there is no evidence, the statement is based on my personal guess)

 

Another difference is that suppose is mostly used with 1st person. For example – “I suppose you are right is correct”, however we rarely say “She supposes you are right.”, though we can use “She assumes that you are right.”

Also, since both suppose and assume are used in different contexts as well (as we have seen in examples previously), the difference in meaning is obvious there.

 

 

Think vs Assume

Think – a belief based on some idea.

Assume – a belief without any proof, based on guess.

·         Why do you assume you know what I think about her?

·         How can you assume that I would think about leaving this job?

·         Don’t assume something to be right, just because you think so.

 

Here is a sentence that explains the subtle difference between the three words –

I suppose it is safe to assume that the trains will resume services on Monday but we can still think of other modes of transport like flight or bus as another option.
