Ya me lo pensaré.

Question

¿Por qué no hacemos una cosa? ¿Por qué no nos vmos tú y yo al Japón , así, con la excusa de los negocios?

No es una mala idea, desde luego. Ya me lo pensaré.

My question is, why it´s Me lo pensaré? Can I say without Me here?

Answer 1

I found in the dictionary that "pensarse algo" means "to think something over", so my guess would be that the reflexive form implies more thought and reflection than, say, "pensar en/sobre algo".

You're very good at explaining, Pumkin. - annierats, Jul 11, 2013

Answer 2

It's as Pumkin says, it means : I will think it over, I will reflect on it. . It needs the 'me'.

I think you could say ' voy a pensar sobre la idea' , if you want to avoid the reflexive construction. .
