a deep thinker
Una pensierosa.


Explanation:
Il termine "pensierosa" racchiude in sé il significato della frase, poiché ha una connotazione introspettiva e assidua (a differenza di "pensatrice", che è semplicemente colei la quale "pensa").

Example sentence(s):
  • Si fece pensieroso; le mie parole lo fecero riflettere.
  • Sei pensieroso, che hai in mente?
