In Japanese, "­ ­omou" and "­ ­ ­kanngaeru" are verbs expressing thoughts (­­ ) and in many cases, they are used interchangeably. Both of them are usually translated as "think" in English and as “nghĩ” in Vietnamese. In this paper, we go on with an analysis to point out specific similarities and differences in semantics and pragmatics of "omou" and "kangaeru”. Accordingly, "omou" describes the subjective feelings of the subject, the feelings towards the person and instantaneous thinking, "kangaeru" describes the action of the humanmind as a process, and the result of that process is the nature rational conclusion.
