The use of "doubt/suspect" (verb)

It's "an observation believed to be false".
In the situation you describe, it's
I doubt he is happy with it.
It's, approximately, I don't think that he is happy with it.

Thank you very much Jim. In Chinese, it is quite the opposite, that would explain why I was confused. Just to furthur comfirm I understand it correctly, with the following sentence:

"I doubt she would sneak out tonight and meet up with that boy again."

(In Chinese, it's stating the speculation and the speaker believes "she" would sneak out tonight..) But in English, the speaker d

Raen, I was okay with what you said until you got to the "definitively so."

It means you don't THINK so.

I don't think the Patriots will win. I doubt they will win. (I don't know so - they still may.)

I'm don't believe she will sneak out. I doubt she will sneak out.

I don't doubt it = I think it likely to happen.

RaenIn Chinese, it's stating the speculation and the speaker believes "she" would sneak out tonight.

In that case, your English-Chinese dictionary is wrong about whatever Chinese word they're giving you for the English word "doubt".
It sounds to me that the Chinese word you're referring to means "suspect".
I suspect she's going to sneak out tonigh

"It sounds to me that the chinese word you're referring to means "suspect"."

Thank you sooooooooo very much Jim, I think that's it! In all the English-Chinese dictionaries I've used since many years ago have the same translation word for "doubt" and "suspect", and I've used them accordingly, no wonder I was confused. Now the plot is solved. Dang!

Thanks a lot again

"Raen, I was Ok with what you said until you said "definitely so.""

Thank you for your help Grammar. My saying "definitely so" is not so much asking for absoluteness as being frustrated with "doubt/suspect". As I have explained in the last reply to Jim, you probably have understood by now why I had been confused, very confused.

I suspect you're happy with this new bit of information and doubt you'll have any questions about it in the future!

Raenthe same translation word for "doubt" and "suspect"

Oh, my goodness!!! That's a bad mistake in the dictionary!!! It's time for you to contact the publishers and try to have that corrected in future editions!

Hi! can you please help me out with something me and my friend argued about. please?

Please do understand my poor english. thank you.

The setting/story:
a strange guy who's hiding behind a full face mask plots a war against a Village which a certain Uchiha Madara did way back many years ago.But did not succeed.

The village elders are now figuring out who could be

-- So Uchiha Madara really is alive?
-- I don't have any solid proof. But considering his plan, I doubt it could be anyone else.

= I do not believe that it could be a different person.
= In my opinion, it must be Uchiha Madara. I don't see any other explanation.
= Only the explanation that it is Uchiha Madara makes sense to me. It cannot be anyone except Uchiha Mada
