Ajatella versus Luulla (sopuli.xyz)

Ajatella = "to think" (in general, consciously)

Luulla = "to think", but with the meaning of believing something to be true (perhaps mistakenly)

Is it correct assumption?

You can also use “luulla” when stating what you yourself think, to indicate uncertanty.

That's the most common way I use 'luulla'. For example: "I think it's going to rain soon" = "Luulen että kohta alkaa sataa" (or word-by-word translation "Luulen että alkaa sataa pian").
