Faroese Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Faroese learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Faroese. We will look at the grammar rules and some examples. Let's get started! 🤩

Giving Your Opinion

Giving your opinion in Faroese is quite simple. To express your opinion, you can use the verb mæla (to speak). This verb is conjugated in the present tense like this:

Person	Singular	Plural
I	mæli	mælum
You	mælir	mælit
He/She/It	mælir	mæla
We	mælum	mælum
You	mælit	mælut
They	mæla	mæla

To give your opinion, you can use the phrase eg mæli (I think) followed by your opinion. For example:

• Eg mæli, at tað er ein góður filmur. (I think it's a good movie.)
• Eg mæli, at tað er ein dálítugur filmur. (I think it's a bad movie.)

You can also use the phrase tað mæli eg (I think that) followed by your opinion. For example:

• Tað mæli eg, at tað er ein góður filmur. (I think that it's a good movie.)
• Tað mæli eg, at tað er ein dálítugur filmur. (I think that it's a bad movie.)
