too verbalize - to turn into words. I would say it means 'to think out loud' or 'to speak what one is thinking'. To state: To declare some information. To give a fact or opinion to another person. A verbalisation can be very simple, contain little meaning, or a lot. It really just says the act of saying words, and nothing about the meaning or content or significance. A statement however, implies great consideration as to the truth of what you are saying, and its significance to the listener.

"State" is a good, plain, ordinary word. It is used frequently. When you "state" an idea, the idea is usually precise and factual. To "state" it means to express a thought it carefully, clearly, and in a formal way. It is a declaration a belief for the record. "Would you agree that the accident was your fault?' "No, I wouldn't." "But when you talked to the police you stated 'I was driving behind him, a cat ran out in front of his car, and he stopped so suddenly that I couldn't stop in time and hit his car.'" "Verbalize" is a less common word. To "verbalize" an idea means that the idea is difficult to express in words, but you have found a way to do it. "It is hard to verbalize exactly what it is about Irving Berlin's songs that makes them such a joy to listen to."
