What is the difference between deem and believe ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.

Answers

In a lot of contexts you can use "believe" to replace "deemed", but it's not always the other way around.

You can't replace believe with deem in the sentence "I believe in God," for example, but "I deem him worthy" means the same as "I believe he's worthy."

"Deem" means to consider something a certain way or to place an expectation on something, and "Believe" also has this meaning. However, "believe" can also mean something deeper.

"Faith" means to know something is true or to completely trust something, even if it doesn't seem to be obviously the case. "Believe" can also have this meaning, but "Deem" can not.

"I have faith that it will rain next Tuesday."
"I believe that it will rain next Tuesday."

Hope this helps and isn't confusing!

@lillyanacloud yeah I got it!
So, I can say “ I deem that the ecological system is put in jeopardy due to human activity”

@lillyanacloud btw, could you please also explain what’s the difference between accrete and accumulate?
