Faraway Posted July 2, 2008 at 08:54 AM Report Posted July 2, 2008 at 08:54 AM How can it be said in Chinese "to consider someone to be" or "to think that someone is”？ "I consider them to be" - "我觉得他们是。。。“？”I think I am“ - ”我想我是。。。“？ 谢谢：） Quote
foodtarget Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:33 AM Report Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:33 AM My first instinct is to use 算 or 认为 我认为他们是。。。 我算是。。。 Quote
Dariush Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:35 AM Report Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:35 AM Hi, You could say: 他可能(算是)... They could (be considered)... (or) 我(認為)他是... I (consider/believe) they are... Hope this is of some use... at the moment I can only use traditonal characters so - sorry if there's any confusion! Quote
Dariush Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:37 AM Report Posted July 2, 2008 at 11:37 AM Hi again, 认为 (I just copied that from your post ), is more like 'presume' than 'consider'. (I think). Quote

I (consider/believe) they are... I looked it up at nciku and got " think; consider; hold; deem; fancy; find; suppose; reckon; regard " Quote
lilongyue Posted July 5, 2008 at 01:04 AM Report Posted July 5, 2008 at 01:04 AM I think what you might be after is 看做/看作. Wenlin defines it as "look upon as, regard as." The example they give is: 他把你看做朋友 (He regards you/looks upon you as a friend). Quote
Josh-zhang Posted July 6, 2008 at 03:46 PM Report Posted July 6, 2008 at 03:46 PM I agree with lilongyue to consider someone/something to be, 当成、看成、视作 Quote
