Hmmm... I see that "idea" is among the translations of "pojęcie" on Wiktionary, but generally I'd say its main meaning is "notion". The only situation when I'd surely translate "pojęcie" to "idea" is "I have no idea" = "Nie mam pojęcia", but that's more of an idiomatic thing.
What about "Nie wierzę, że ten pomysł jest gorszy."? In common everyday speech (USA) "believe" and "think" in this context are identical.
There is a similar interchangeability for myślę/sądzę/uważam, although uważam is less common when preceded by a negation.
However, wierzę does not have the same meaning. It literally means 'I think that someone is telling the truth'.
We want the subject of the sentence (here: of the clause) to remain the same, you changed the subject from "this idea" to "this/that/it" (... that [this/that/it] is a worse idea).
I noticed that pronunciation of gorsze and gorszy is nearly identical, virtually indistinguishable for me. Did anyone else also hear that?
Probably a lot of learners, that's a major problem, from what I read here. But as a native I never even considered -y and -e to be similar sounds...
I probably wouldn't think of it, seeing the English sentence, although sure, we translate "chyba" to "I think that". But that "I think that" is close in meaning to "It seems that"...
Let's see... "Chyba ten pomysł nie jest gorszy", that would be that. I can add it, I guess.
