Definition
推算 (tuī suàn) means to calculate or extrapolate by inference — you use known data or reasoning to deduce a result, often for trends or future events. It's more specific than 算 or 计算 (generic 'calculate') and emphasizes the inferential step; compare 推断 (tuī duàn), which is pure logical deduction without necessarily involving numbers or calculation.
