Thought or mind, idea or wits Sun Oct 16, 2005 13:47 pm  Thought or mind, idea or wits
 

Dear Mr. Alan and Torsten,

Regarding this topic, i still have some questions to ask. First about the difference between " thought" and "mind" since when I tried to translate to my own language (Indonesian) ,they meant the same. So I hope you're glad to explain it. How to make use of them in sentences to make it clearer?

And then about , idea and wits, we've got a tv program named "battle of wits" here. Do they have same meaning? or is there any difference ?

That's all and thanks in advance for your answers.

.
In these cases, thought (as a noun) is a process that runs through the mind-- the mind is the receptacle and generator of thoughts.

Wits is here used for cleverness or perceptiveness; a witty person is glib and intellectually humorous. A battle of wits is actually an idiomatic expression meaning "a contest in which intelligence rather than violence is used". Wit is normally an uncountable noun with an anomalous plural form

An idea, on the other hand, is a creative thought of any kind.
