Questions & Answers about tā juéde zuò huǒchē lǚyóu hěn shūfu, zài huǒchē shàng yě kěyǐ kàn zhàopiàn.

Why does the sentence use 觉得 (juéde) here instead of 想 (xiǎng) or 认为 (rènwéi)?

In this sentence, 觉得 is the most natural choice because it expresses a personal feeling or subjective impression.

• 觉得 = to feel, to think (subjectively)

  • 他觉得坐火车旅游很舒服。
    He feels / finds that traveling by train is very comfortable.

• 想 has two main uses:

  1. to want: 我想喝咖啡。 – I want to drink coffee.
  2. to think, to consider (often about plans/thoughts in your head): 我在想明天做什么。 – I’m thinking about what to do tomorrow.

  Using 想 in the original sentence would sound more like “he is thinking about” rather than “he has the impression that”.

• 认为 = to believe, to hold the opinion that (more formal, logical, or reasoned)

  • 他认为坐火车旅游很环保。 – He believes that traveling by train is very environmentally friendly.

So 觉得 is best because “finding something comfortable” is about subjective feeling, not planning (想) or a formal judgment (认为).
