思想 is pronounced sīxiǎng and means “pensamiento”. You will meet it in HSK 5, a band of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi — the standard test of Chinese proficiency. Most learners can pick 思想 out of a list long before they can reach for it unprompted, and the gap between those two closes only with repeated recall.
