I have read the following sentence:

Pensiamoci su domani

Does "su" add anything here or is it just idiomatic? Would "Pensiamoci domani" be wrong/not usual?

It’s idiomatic:

Pensarci su, sopra:

riflettere con attenzione su qualcosa

  • AFAIK riflettere = pensare, so the difference between "pensarci su" and "pensarci" in my original question is the "attenzione" ? Aug 29, 2019 at 6:24

    They are about the same in meaning, su or sopra make the sentence a bit more assertive.

Su in this sentence means "about this (topic) ". Another equivalent phrase could be pensiamoci sopra domani that has the same meaning.

Could it be omitted? Yes, I don't think it is unusual to omit it (on my experience).
