The you form, most often used as a question, is:

  • You think not? - Myślisz, że nie?
  • You think so? - Tak myślisz?

Tak myślisz? has a slightly wider usage. It can also mean 'Is that how you are thinking?' to reflect more deeper long term thought rather than just an opinion about something which is happening right now.
