== Expressing Your Opinion ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/fon Fon] learners! 😊
<br>In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Fon. Opinions are an important part of communication as they help us express our thoughts and feelings on a particular subject.


Giving your opinion in Fon is quite simple. There are two main ways to do it: using the verb ''dɔ'' or using the phrase ''mí nyɔ''.
__TOC__


The verb ''dɔ'' is used to express a strong opinion. It is usually used when you are sure of what you are saying. For example:


* ''Mí dɔ mí nyɔ mí bɛ yɔ.'' - I think I should go.

== Expressing Opinion ==
In Fon, there are several ways to express your opinion, but the most common phrases used are "Mèdé kplé" which means "I think" or "Mèdé tó" which means "I believe." Let's have a look at some more examples:


The phrase ''mí nyɔ'' is used to express a more tentative opinion. It is usually used when you are not sure of what you are saying. For example:  
{| class="wikitable"
! Fon !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Mèdé kplé || meh-deh k-play || I think
|-
| Mèdé tó  ||  meh-deh toh || I believe
|-
| Mèdé mí ||  meh-deh mee || In my opinion
|-
| Mèdé ló ||  meh-deh loh || According to me
|}
 
Here are some examples of sentences using these phrases to express an opinion:
 
* Person 1: "Mèdé kplé djíi wékpon kíkún wén?" (I think the food is very delicious, isn't it?)
* Person 2: "Wè mèdé kplé óó" (Yes, I think so too)
 
* Person 1: "Mèdé mí kokwò lé nu evólìsí" (In my opinion, learning languages is important)
* Person 2: "Eè, mèdé tó mía nyò lò uvínló" (Yes, I believe it can broaden your horizon)
 
== Agreeing and Disagreeing ==
Agreeing and disagreeing is an essential part of communication, and it allows us to express our thoughts freely. In Fon, there are many ways to agree or disagree with someone.  
 
To agree with someone, you can simply say "yè" which means "yes." Here are some examples:
 
* Person 1: "Lé yé àtétu wén nu yí?" (Do you think we should go now?)
* Person 2: "Yè nù" (Yes, let's go)
 
To disagree with someone, you can say "ø" in Fon, which means "no." Here are some examples:
 
* Person 1: "Wémí nyí?" (Do you like it?)
* Person 2: "Tí djóø" (No, I don't like it)


* ''Mí nyɔ mí bɛ yɔ.'' - I think I should go.  
== Giving Reasons ==
Sometimes we may need to give reasons to justify our opinion. In Fon, there are several ways to give reasons, but the most common phrases used are "nu mìnkplé" which means "because I think" or "nu míntó" which means "because I believe." Let's have a look at some more examples:


== Examples ==
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-

|}
 
Here are some examples of sentences using these phrases to give reasons:
 
* Person 1: "Mínyó lé áládé, nu mìnkplé evĕ wénu yí" (It's raining outside, so I think we should stay here)
* Person 2: "Mékawu, ó wénu yí míí" (Alright, let's stay here)
 
* Person 1: "Nyánu nyí fùgù" (I like bananas)
* Person 2: "Yèi wémí? Nu míntó nyò mé fùgù" (Really? Because I know you don't like bananas)
