Ajatella = “to think” (in general, consciously)

Luulla = “to think”, but with the meaning of believing something to be true (perhaps mistakenly)

Is it correct assumption?

    You can also use “luulla” when stating what you yourself think, to indicate uncertainty.

    Also when used in past tense as with “hän luuli” the meaning changes. It’s always a false belief. In the same way when talking about “I thought” in english, and how that always means that your thoughts have since changed.

      That’s the most common way I use ‘luulla’. For example: “I think it’s going to rain soon” = “Luulen että kohta alkaa sataa” (or word-by-word translation “Luulen että alkaa sataa pian”).
