41 Learn Japanese - "Plain Style" to omoimasu (I think that...)
• # 41 Learn Japanese - ...
=========================================================
つもりです(tsumori desu): to Intend to Do
Verb + つもりだ
The function is to express what you intend to do. One important point here is that the decision should have been made a while ago. Therefore, you cannot use this for decisions made on the spot.
お酒をやめるつもりです。
osake o yameru tsumori desu
I intend to quit drinking.
明日は家にいるつもり です。
ashita wa ie ni iru tsumori desu.
As for tomorrow, I intend to stay at home.
海外の大学に行くつもりです。
kaigai no daigaku ni iku tsumori desu
I intend to go to a foreign university.
Adding “to omou” or “to omotte iru” (~と思う, ~と思っている) after a verb that is in Volitional Form changes the meaning from “let’s [verb]” to “I am thinking that I will [verb].” Since “to omou” means “I think,” you can picture this grammar pattern as expressing a volitional thought or feeling that you are holding in your mind.
For example, a person who has said “let’s do it” to themselves, internally. The difference between “to omou” (which is present/future tense) and “to omotte iru” (which is progressive tense) in this pattern is that the former implies a new thought (something you have just now begun to think that you will do). The latter implies a longer-term thought (something that you’ve been thinking for a while that you will do).
お母さんに手紙を書こうと思います。
Okaasan ni tegami o kakou to omoi masu
(I think I will write a letter to my mother).
お母さんに手紙を書こうと思っています。
Okaasan ni tegami o kakou to omotte imasu

明日は家にいようと思います。

In Spanish the volitional for is also used to speak to oneself as if inviting yourself to do something. It is not standard Spanish to my knowledge but a common practice in informal context where someone is speaking to him/herself intimately. The idea of volition, the intention of doing something is then implied in the Spanish expression. So, could it be said that in a way when someone says 寝よう he/she is inviting him/herself to sleep in Japanese too and the volition is implied?

Yeah! actually I think that can be implied :) good point!!
Hi Masa 先生 Is there any significant different between the two sentences? Using grammar : 行くとおもいます versus 行こうと思います 私は来年 日本に行くと思います。 Versus 私は来年 日本に行こうと思います。 The difference between : 私は 来年 日本に行こうと思っていますので いまから 彫金します。 I have been thinking (would like to ) go to japan next year so, I am saving money from now on。 私は 来年 日本に行く思っていますので いまから 彫金します。 Is there a big difference in meaning between this two sentences? Ok lease help to explain if possible . Once again thank you! very much

行くとおもいます 行こうと思います both means I think I will got to Japan. 行こうと思います includes a nuance that you are willing to go. However, 行くとおもいます does not have any feeling. Just saying "I think I will go". Maybe because your home is Japan and you just go back every year, or maybe because you have been to Japan so many times that you don't have much excitement etc. 私は 来年 日本に行こうと思っていますので いまから 貯金します 私は 来年 日本に行く思っていますので いまから 貯金します。 Here I made a short video for you! instagram.com/p/CO9JNx9nreS/? I will also make short videos for your other questions so please hold on!

@MasaSensei

Does it mean " 行こうかなと思います " ?? If so, yes it is the same meaning! かな is used " When you are uncertain / wondering about something." so " 行こうかなと思います " means " I think I will go (but not certain) Please check this video out! :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/jHp9krJpdcynlMY.html

Hi!! Sorry to be late!! I made a video to answer to your question!! The difference of these are the level of how strong your volition is. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qo6CzsmwoKqYdpM.html 夏休みに旅行しようと思っています (I would like to travel during summer vacation) 夏休みに旅行するつもりです (I intend to travel during summer vacation) 夏休みに旅行する予定 です(I plan to travel during summer vacation) ようと思っています is maybe just thinking about doing... つもりです is you have a strong feeling of doing ... 予定 です is already scheduled, planned
