I imagine
That's my guess
A conversational phrase expressing mild supposition or polite assumption about something you haven't verified: I imagine you're tired after that flight.
It softens assertions, making them less presumptuous than flat statements.
The phrase can also convey wry understatement: That wasn't pleasant, I imagine.
Sometimes used sarcastically to suggest something is obvious.
