You are asking the other person to give you time to think Hmmm, let me think about this for a moment please - you can say moment or minute - both are the same in this context. You can change the time frame and say - let me think about this over the weekend or over the next week and I will get back to you. It all depends on what question is being asked and how big a decision to have to make. Some people ned more than others to think about things Hope this helps Jane :)
考える時間が欲しいときに使います。 Hmmm, let me think about this for a moment please んーー、ちょっとだけ考えさせてほしいな、お願い。 - momentまたはminuteで代用しても良いです。 どちらもこの文脈では一緒です。 時間を先にいうこともできます。 let me think about this over the weekend or over the next week and I will get back to you. 今週末時間をください。来週お答えします。 これは、何の質問が尋ねられているのか、その重大さにもよりますね。人によって考える時間は違いますから。 参考になれば Jane :)"

  • I just need a second to think.

just a second' doesn't mean literally a second but it means a little time.
’just a second'は文字通り1秒を意味するのではなく、短い時間を意味します。

Let me think: ちょっと考えさせて。 Give me a sec: 一瞬時間ちょうだい。 Let me think about that! というと、「それについては考えておくよ」 というように聞こえます。

  • Let me get back to you on that one..

  • I need to mull that one over a bit.

  • I need to turn that one over in my mind and give you an answer.

"Let me get back to you on that one.." To get back to someone is to return to them with an answer. "I need to mull that one over a bit." mull = The verb mull means to think deeply about something, the way you might mull over your choice of what college to attend. When you mull something over, you ponder or seriously consider it.It could also mean to think about (something) deeply and at length. e.g She began to mull over the various possibilities "I need to turn that one over in my mind and give you an answer." To think about (something) in order to understand it or make a decision e.g She kept turning the problem over in her mind, trying to find a solution.
"Let me get back to you on that one.." get back to (人) は、相手に返事をすることです。 "I need to mull that one over a bit." mull = 深く考えるという意味の動詞です。どの大学に行こうかを mull over して決めるかもしれません。 mull (もの)over は、あなたが思いふけったり、真剣に考えることを意味します。 また、深く長い時間なにかについて考えることを意味する時もあります。 例 She began to mull over the various possibilities. (彼女は様々な可能性を熟考し始めた。) "I need to turn that one over in my mind and give you an answer." 理解したり決断するために考えることです。 例 She kept turning the problem over in her mind, trying to find a solution. (彼女は解決策を見つけようと、その問題について頭の中でずっと考えていた。)

  • Give me a second, please. I need to think

  • Could you give me some time to think, please?

    play icon

I am a slow-thinker and these two phrases are very typical for me, however, I prefer to use the second one because it's more polite and give the person an option to reply.
私は考えるのが遅いので、この二つのフレーズはよく使います。おすすめは二つ目です。こちらの方が丁寧で、相手に許可を求めています。

  • Can I think for a minute?

  • Let me think.

  • Give me some time to think.

These are common and simple expressions to ask for a moment to think about the answer before you respond. If you are needing more than a minute, or even several days to think about your answer if it is a big decision, you can say "Give me some time to think." By not specifying how much time, you can take as long as you want. ;)
どれもシンプルで一般的な表現です。質問されて、答える前に少し考える時間が欲しいとき使うことができます。 あるいは数日などもっと長く考える時間が欲しいときは、"Give me some time to think"(少し考えさせてください)と言えます。長さを明示していないので、好きなだけ時間をかけることができます。

1. Give me a day or two to mull over it. To mull over something means thinking long and hard about something before making a decision. 2.Can I chew over the problem? To "chew over" is a casual way of saying that you need some time to reflect or contemplate a favor or request. 3. May I have some time to ponder over it? To ponder over something means to consider or give some thought to something before finally making up your mind.
1. Give me a day or two to mull over it.(一日、二日考えさせてください) "To mull over something" は「〔決断を下す前に〕じっくり考える」という意味です。 2. Can I chew over the problem?(少し考えさせてもらえますか) "To chew over" は「〔頼まれたことなどについて〕じっくり考える」という意味のカジュアルな表現です。 3. May I have some time to ponder over it?(少し考える時間をいただけますか) "To ponder over something" は「〔決断を下す前に〕じっくり考える」という意味です。

If someone asks you a question and you would like a minute to think about it, you can say something like "Sorry, could you give me a second to think about that." or "Can I have a moment to think about this please?". Both of these are polite ways of getting your message across.
質問されて少し考える時間がほしいときは、次のように言えます。 "Sorry, could you give me a second to think about that."(すみません、少し考えさせてもらえますか) "Can I have a moment to think about this please?"(少し考えさせてもらえますか) どちらも丁寧な言い方です。

The main thing that we need to use when talking about this subject is to use the verb, "to think," as this describes being able to reflect and have an internal conversation with ourselves before making a decision or doing something. We can use these three different phrases to discuss and express this idea : - I'd like some time to think about it. - Let me think. - Give me a minute to think.
ここでポイントになるのは "to think" という動詞です。これは、行動を起こしたり決断を下す前に自分自身と向き合うことを表します。 これについて伝えるなら次のフレーズを使うことができます。 - I'd like some time to think about it.(少し考える時間をいただきたいです) - Let me think.(少し考えさせてください) - Give me a minute to think.(少し考えさせてください)
