Definition
觉着 is a colloquial variant of 觉得 (juéde), meaning 'to feel, to think, to have the impression that'. It is commonly used in spoken Mandarin, especially in northern dialects. The pinyin given here (jiào) is nonstandard — the standard pronunciation is juézhe. Be aware that 觉着 is less formal than 觉得 and may be marked as dialectal in some contexts.
