Homework What do you (sg.) think about him?

[atomicpizza]

I have to translate this single phrase using pronouns: "What do you (sg.) think about him?"


My answer:
Quid tu de eo cogitas?

Doesn't cogitare aliquid mean "to thing about something"? I think it's safer to express the idea of opinion using censes or arbitraris.

 

[Matthaeus]

I see nothing wrong, but putas or existimas are also viable options.

cogitare de to think about someone

cogitare + acc. to have someone in mind.

Found an example under LTL COGITARE 1 c) δ)
Cic. 7. Att. 4. 3. Tu ipse cum Sexto scire velim quid cogites de exeundo de totaque re quid existimes.
