Apart of other explanations above,
Reckon i think is more informal language.
Am I correct??
By myself when I did the test , instead of "Reckon" I put it "Realize",
but now it's clear (I read all the explanation above)
Thank you! |

Hi,
'Realise' suggests 'understand' when you come to the conclusion that you have understood as in: She realised she had made a serious mistake in investing all her money in that company. It can also mean literally to make real or turn into reality as in: Realise your dreams means that you make your dreams become real.
'Reckon' has the idea of calculate as in adding up figures or sums of money. It can also be used to suggest that you believe you know why something has happened as in: I reckon that she fell on the floor because it was very slippery.

hello,
Longman Dictionary of American English defines reckon: think or suppose ( I reckon they will be late) and it is mostly used in spoken language, is it true?
realize- to know or understand the importance of something that you did not know befere: I am sorry, I didn't realize (that) it was late/He obviously didn't realize the damages involved.
realize a hope/ good dream etc.
reckon in the sentence above probably means - I suppose, am I right?
Thanks,
Margaret |

'Reckon' doesn't mean 'express'.
I suggest you use a Learner's Dictionary to find the definition you need. You will also see examples of its usage.

| Does 'drenched' mean 'totally wet'? | She looks like a star? |
