belief held without strong evidence

A belief or idea that something is true, but without good proof or strong facts.

استعمال کا انداز: a supposition that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "supposition" in everyday speech where "guess" or "idea" is more natural; "supposition" is quite formal. They may also try to use it as a verb (*"I supposition that…"*), but the verb form is "suppose." Another mistake is using a wrong preposition, such as *"under the supposition that"* instead of the fixed phrase "on the supposition that."

unproven idea used for reasoning

An idea that we accept for now, without proof, so that we can think, argue, or do research about it.

استعمال کا انداز: a supposition that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse "supposition" with "proposition." A "supposition" is an unproven starting idea, while a "proposition" is usually a statement or claim that can be argued for or against. Another mistake is using it in very casual speech instead of more natural words like "idea" or "guess."
ہم معنی الفاظ
hypothesis (Common in academic and scientific contexts; often suggests a more formal, testable idea than "supposition.")
متضاد الفاظ
proven fact (A conclusion that has already been demonstrated or confirmed, not just assumed for the sake of argument or study.)
