Usage notes
- Use giudicare for evaluating or passing judgment; pensare or ritenere often sound more neutral for opinions.
- With a person/object plus predicate, use giudicare qualcuno/qualcosa + adjective/noun: Ti giudico capace.
- For opinions about a whole clause, Italian often prefers giudicare che less than pensare che or ritenere che.
