Read a random definition: ex paritate rationis
A quick definition of believe:
Believe: To think that something is true or real. It means that you accept it as true, even if you can't see it or prove it. It's like when you believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, even though you can't see them. You just know they're real because you believe in them.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To feel certain about the truth of; to accept as true. To think or suppose.
Examples:
- I believe that the earth is round.
- She believes that he will come back.
- He believes that he can pass the exam.
The examples illustrate the definition of "believe" as accepting something as true or having a certain level of confidence in something. In each example, the person has a certain level of certainty in their belief, whether it is about a fact (the earth is round), a person's actions (he will come back), or their own abilities (he can pass the exam).
