    Hi there,

    I know «I reckon» means «I think» (GB) or «I guess» (US) and I am presuming they are perfect synonyms.
    However, I have never heard «I reckon» in a conversation. Is it more formal? Does it have any specific connotation?
    When should I use «I reckon» rather than the other two options?

    Thanks!

    Funny, I have always considered ‘reckon’ to be a conversational word rather than formal English. I have to admit that I haven’t heard it for some time so perhaps it has fallen into disuse. In answer to your question I reckon you could use it instead of ‘think’ in an informal manner in BE, but I’m not so sure about AE.

    • #3

    Yes, I agree with that. I had always thought it was somewhat regional (East Midlands, England), but I might be wrong.

    WestSideGal


    • #4

    Here in the U.S., the phrase «I reckon» is relegated now to certain regions of the country, although not exclusively used by Southerners.

    «I reckon she just didn’t want to come to the party,» means I suppose/I guess/maybe she just didn’t want to come to the party.

    «I reckon» could also be used to affirm a statement, to agree with something that’s been stated. «Do you think she just wanted to stay home?» «Yeah, I reckon.»

    I personally wouldn’t use it in everyday conversation because it is highly colloquial and not considered to be an educated way expressing agreement or supposition, at least not where I’m from.

    panjandrum


    • #5

    I reckon that I reckon is used conversationally with not quite the same meaning as I think.
    It has some residual sense (for me) of reckon meaning calculate, so that if I reckon something I have arrived at this view as a result of calculation or analysis in response to the situation or question.

    On the other hand, I’m probably over-thinking a very routine expression :)

    • #6

    I agree. In my area, «I reckon» brings to mind hillbillies, cowboys, and my great-uncle (he was a cowboy). It is usually associated with some kind of Western or Southern drawl. I don’t hear it in conversation unless the speaker is pretending to speak like a hillbilly or a cowboy or my great -uncle. :)

    Yes, I think you are, although I have to agree with your analysis, One also has to remember the expression ‘The Day of Reckoning’ when it supposed you will be required to account for your behaviour during your earthly life.

    As far as I’m concerned, I heard I reckon in real life English only a few times uttered by my brother-in-law, and as far as I remember there indeed were some circumstances that required more or less thorough analysis of the situation.

    I reckon it’s a fairly common word, it’s more than «I think» because that can imply an uncertainty or an opener for someone to disagree, but I reckon is a sort of calculated guess, where you’re pretty much certain you are right!.

    «I think it will rain tomorrow»… but someone may tell me different.

    «I reckon it will rain tomorrow»… because I’ve studied weather patterns and I’m usualy right on these matters.

    When I say these two sentences to myself, it feels natural to put the emphasis on «I think» in the first sentence, and on «will rain» in the second.

    As an AE speaker, I believe the last time I heard «I reckon» used in speech was in a John Wayne (cowboy) movie when he said something like, «Waaall, I reckin’ I’ll jest mosey along now.» I would advise non-native speakers to avoid using it in AE. It just (jest) sounds silly (except in a «Day of Reckoning» context).

    • #25

    Yes, it doesn’t have the same «hill-billy» or «cowboy» connotation in BE. Unless it’s said in an American accent — then it does!

    I’ve always reckoned, i.e. figured, that the word comes from the same root as the German rechnen (to count or add up) if not from German itself.

    Ah reckon ah weel, Jimbob.

    • #28

    My understanding of it is that one could often replace «I reckon…» with «I’d say…» in more general American English. I also picture a Southerner using this word more than other dialect speakers, but it’s certainly known to most English speakers.

    • #29

    I have memories of using «I reckon» in front of Americans and being immediately tarred as a hillbilly. It doesn’t have those connotations at all here. I agree that there is a slight ‘calculation’ aspect to it, although I reckon I wouldn’t usually stop and think too much about if I was reckoning or thinking or guessing.

    As to whether ‘I think’ and ‘I guess’ are the same thing — to me ‘I guess’ is AE in the sense of ‘I think/suppose’, although I hear (and use it myself) more and more frequently in that sense. The other meaning, of course, is when you’re actually guessing — I don’t know, but I would guess the answer is…

    common in Australia (I lived there as a child). They got it from us because as you know Oz was a British penal colony and it was used a lot in London and the south-east, although not so much now: it’s gone out of fashion, I think.

    Wow, it’s sometimes surprising how different usage can be even in states that are right next door to each other. «I reckon», «D’you reckon», and «Ya reckon?» are all commonplace, everyday English here in southwest Ohio.

    We still use reckon in the southern U.S. and since southern dialects tend to be looked down upon with prejudice by the rest of the country, it does not surprise me that some people like Gwan have had a bad experience using reckon with some Americans (even though they are the ones that have stopped using it:rolleyes:).

    I agree with others that reckon has a nuance of having calculated something and is not equivalent to guess or think. Figure is quite close, but has a slightly more calculated nuance.
