When discussing opinions in Yoruba, it is common to use the words "ko" and "mo" which means "I like" and "I don't like" respectively. To express your opinion, use the phrase “Mo fẹ́…” (I like...) or “Ko feran...” (I don’t like). Additionally, it is common to use the word “Ẹ̀sìn” which means “point of view”. For example, “Mo ni ẹ̀sìn mi ni…” (My point of view is...).
You can also use adjectives to express your opinion. Here are some examples of adjectives that can be used to express your opinion:
