In this case, it looks like the translator decided to be a bit free with the translation, deciding that that’s what choshev really meant here. Clozemaster is dependent on the decisions of the Tatoeba translators, and they may not always be aiming for the most literal translation.

(Welcome to Clozemaster! I’m learning Hindi, but happen to know some Hebrew.)

English Translation

I guess we could.

In example, “I think I can.” This sentence implies that you might be able to do something. It is not for sure, but it is likely. This same implication is used in this sentence with think, and guess. In this context, they are used interchangeably.
