Also means
to assume
Usage Note
Suponer is conjugated like poner: irregular first-person present supongo, and the same changes in the preterite (supuse) and subjunctive. Se supone que ('it is supposed to') introduces a common spoken pattern: se supone que viene hoy ('he is supposed to come today'). Do not confuse with asumir, which is gaining ground but can sound more formal.
Examples
"Supongo que tienes razón."
Natural Translation
I suppose you are right.
