To think in Danish 3 - tro or mene

Tro expresses a theory that in principle can be verified or falsified through a test:
  • Jeg tror, det er en god bog. (I've got reasons to believe that it's a good book - but I haven't read it)
  • Tro says: We'll see!



    Mene is an opinion based upon conviction. Verifying is not within reach.
  • Jeg mener det vil være godt for økonomien at sætte skatten ned. (I really do believe lowering of taxes would be good for the economy).
  • Mene says: Believe me, I'm serious! Or: I'm almost sure!

    Choose: tro or mene in the drop-down-list
