Definition
合计 (hé jì) has two distinct meanings: 'to add up' (informal, everyday totaling) and 'to ponder, figure out' (colloquial thinking). For totaling, it's less formal than 统计 (systematic tallying) and 总计/共计/累计 (formal totals). For pondering, it's more casual than 思考 (deep, formal reflection) and less intensive than 琢磨 (mulling over).
