Can 'conclude' mean 'come to a conclusion' and 'draw a conclusion'?

[mrwroc]

• 1. It is too early for us to conclude anything.
• 2. What do you conclude from that?

What do the sentences above mean?
1. It means 'decide anything' or 'come to a conclusion'?
2. It means 'draw a conclusion'?

Both cases use sense 1 from the dictionary entry.

Maybe I will ask in a different way. In the Cambridge Dictionary the word 'conclude' is translated to Polish as: 'dojść do wniosku' <-- the Polish phrase.
'dojść do wniosku' it means in English 'come to a conclusion'. I doubt this translation is correct, because it would mean 'conclude' = 'come to a conclusion' and I can change the sentence below:
1. The report concluded that the drug was safe.
to the following sentence:
2. The report came to a conclusion that the drug was safe.
But, maybe I am wrong and the second sentence is correct and 'conclude' and 'come to a conclusion' mean the same. Could you tell me?


conclude verb (DECIDE)


to decide something after studying all the information about it very carefully

dochodzić do wniosku[ + that ] The report concluded that the drug was safe.

That's right. You can.

But, maybe I am wrong and the second sentence is correct and 'conclude' and 'come to a conclusion' mean the same. Could you tell me?

conclude verb (DECIDE)

I wouldn't say conclude means decide. The report didn't decide something. It concluded something.

The answer to the question in your subject line is yes.

Bear in mind that a report can't come to a conclusion about anything. The author(s) of the report came to the conclusion. Having said that, for me, "concluded that" and "came to the conclusion that" mean the same.
The only other reading of "concluded" would be "ended" and that makes no sense.

In some contexts, conclude can be translated into Polish as dojść do wniosku.
In some contexts, dojść do wniosku can be translated into English as come to a conclusion.
In some contexts in English, there is little significant difference in meaning between conclude and come to a conclusion.

This does not mean that conclude and come to a conclusion are always interchangeable - extremely few word/expressions in English are.
