== Expressing Your Opinion ==
Hi [https://polyglotclub.com/language/finnish Finnish] learners! 😊<br>In this lesson, we will be focusing on giving our opinions in Finnish. As language learners, we often find ourselves in situations where we need to express our thoughts and feelings about a certain topic. It can be difficult to express complex ideas in another language, but with practice and some useful vocabulary and grammar structures, it can become much easier. By the end of this lesson, you will have the skills to confidently give your opinion in Finnish on various topics.


When expressing your opinion in Finnish, there are several ways to do so. The most common way is to use the verb ''mielipiteen antaa'' (to give an opinion). This verb is used when you want to express your opinion on a certain topic or issue. For example:
__TOC__


* Minun mielipiteeni on, että... (My opinion is that...)


Another way to express your opinion is to use the phrase ''minusta'' (in my opinion). This phrase is used when you want to express your opinion on something without giving a full explanation. For example:

Giving Your Opinion[edit | edit source]

Whether it's in a classroom setting or a casual conversation, giving your opinion is an essential part of communication. To give your opinion in Finnish, you can use the following phrases:

Finnish Pronunciation English
Minun mielestäni... Minun miel-eh-stä-nee... In my opinion...
Olen sitä mieltä, että... Oh-len si-tä miel-tä, et-tä... I am of the opinion that...
Uskon, että... Oos-kon, et-tä... I believe that...
Ajattelen, että... A-jat-te-len, et-tä... I think that...

Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Before we dive into giving our opinions, let's brush up on some vocabulary that may come in handy:

Finnish Pronunciation English
Puhdas mielipide Poo-das mee-eh-li-poo-deh Pure opinion
Mielipide Mee-eh-li-poo-deh Opinion
Kannattaa Khan-nat-taa To support
Vastustaa Vas-toos-taa To oppose
Ajatus A-ya-tus Thought

Examples[edit | edit source]

To help you understand how to use these phrases, let's look at some examples:

  • Person 1: Mikä on mielipiteesi Suomen ilmastopolitiikasta? (What is your opinion on Finland's climate policy?)
  • Person 2: Minun mielestäni Suomen ilmastopolitiikka on hyvin tehokasta (In my opinion, Finland's climate policy is very effective)
  • Person 1: Kannatatko kouluaamuja vai haluaisitko aloittaa myöhemmin? (Do you support early school start times or would you like to start later?)
  • Person 2: Olen sitä mieltä, että kouluaamut kannattaa aloittaa myöhemmin (I am of the opinion that early school start times should be pushed back)
  • Person 1: Mitä ajattelet sähköautojen tulevaisuudesta Suomessa? (What do you think about the future of electric cars in Finland?)
  • Person 2: Uskon, että sähköautojen tulevaisuus Suomessa on hyvin valoisa (I believe that the future of electric cars in Finland is very bright)
  • Person 1: Miten suhtaudut veronkorotuksiin? (How do you feel about tax increases?)
  • Person 2: Vastustan veronkorotuksia (I oppose tax increases)

Use of Cases[edit | edit source]

In Finnish, it's important to use the correct cases when expressing opinions. The nominative case is used for the subject that has the opinion, while the partitive case is used for the object of the sentence. For example:

  • Minun mielestäni vastuullinen kuluttaminen on tärkeää. (In my opinion, responsible consumption is important.)

In this sentence, "minun mielestäni" is in the partitive case, while "vastuullinen kuluttaminen" is in the nominative case.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

To practice giving opinions, here's a dialogue between two friends:

  • Person 1: Oletko kuullut uudesta elokuvasta, joka tuli juuri teattereihin? (Have you heard about the new movie that just came out in theaters?)
  • Person 2: En ole vielä ehtinyt katsomaan sitä. Mielipiteesi? (I haven't had a chance to see it yet. What is your opinion?)
  • Person 1: Minun mielestäni se oli hyvin tehty ja näyttelijäsuoritukset olivat erinomaisia. (In my opinion, it was well-made and the acting performances were excellent.)
  • Person 2: Kiitos suosituksesta! Aion ehdottomasti mennä katsomaan sen.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Giving your opinion in Finnish may seem intimidating at first, but with a bit of confidence and some useful vocabulary at your disposal, you'll be able to easily express your thoughts and feelings on various topics. Remember to use the correct cases and practice using the phrases we've gone over. To improve your Finnish Grammar, you can also use the Polyglot Club website.
