== Rules ==
== Expressing Agreement ==
In Western Frisian, there are two ways to give your opinion:  
 
1. Using the verb "to think" (tinke)  
When you agree with someone, you can use the following phrases in Western Frisian:
2. Using the verb "to say" (sizze)
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Western Frisian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Ik bin itselde miening. || [ɪk bɪn ɪtsəldə meɪnɪŋ] || I have the same opinion.
|-
| Ik bin it mei dy iens. || [ɪk bɪn ɪt maɪ di ens] || I agree with you.
|-
| Dat tink ik ek. || [dɑt tɪŋk ɪk ek] || I think so too.
|-
| Natuerlik! || [nɑtyrlɪk] || Of course!
|}
 
To further emphasize your agreement in a casual setting, you can also use slang:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Western Frisian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Absoluut! || [ɑbsolʏt] || Absolutely!
|-
| Ik bin der hielendal foar. || [ɪk bɪn dɛr hɪləndɑl foɑr] || I'm all for it.
|}
 
Example dialogue:
* Person 1: Wat in moaie dei hjoed, net? (What a beautiful day today, isn't it?)
* Person 2: Absoluut! (Absolutely!)
 
== Expressing Disagreement ==
 
When you disagree with someone, you can use the following phrases in Western Frisian:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Western Frisian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Dat tink ik net. || [dɑt tɪŋk ɪk nɛt] || I don't think so.
|-
| Dêr bin ik net mei iens. || [dɛr bɪn ɪk nɛt maɪ iɛns] || I don't agree with that.
|-
| Ik soe sizze fan net. || [ɪk soə ˈsɪzə fɑn nɛt] || I would say no.
|}
 
In a casual setting, you may also use slang:


When using the verb "to think", you can use the following structure:
{| class="wikitable"
Subject + tinke + dat + subject + verb + object
! Western Frisian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Ast my fraachst, nee. || [ɑst mɛ frɑxt, neɪ] || If you ask me, no.
|-
| No way! || [no weɪ] || No way!
|}


For example:  
Example dialogue:
Ik tinke dat it bêste is om nei skoalle te gean. (I think that it is best to go to school.)  
* Person 1: Ik fyn it waar hjoed frjemd. (I find the weather strange today.)
* Person 2: Ast my fraachst, nee. (If you ask me, no.)


When using the verb "to say", you can use the following structure:
== Hedging Language ==
Subject + sizze + dat + subject + verb + object


For example:
Sometimes, you may not have a strong opinion on a topic or you may want to soften your statement. In such cases, you can use hedging language. Here are some examples in Western Frisian:
Ik sizze dat it bêste is om nei skoalle te gean. (I say that it is best to go to school.)


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

|-
| Ik kin my ferjitte, mar... || [ɪk kɪn maɪ fərjɪtə mar] || I may be wrong, but...
|-
|-
! Western Frisian !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
| Hjir is wat ik tink. Betink wol dat... || [hjɪr ɪs wat ɪk tɪŋk. bətɪŋk wɔl dɑt...] || Here's what I think. Remember that...
|-

| Ik tinke dat it bêste is om nei skoalle te gean. || /ɪk tɪŋkə dɑt ɪt bɛstə ɪz ɔm nɛi skoːlə tə ɣɛːn/ || I think that it is best to go to school.
| Ik wol net te bot skerp wêze, mar... || [ɪk wɔl nɛt te bot skɛrp wɛzə mar] || I don't want to be too harsh, but...
|}
 
Example dialogue:
* Person 1: Sjochst dat ark dêr? (Do you see that duck over there?)
* Person 2: Ik kin my ferjitte, mar dat liket my earder in fûgel. (I may be wrong, but that looks more like a bird to me.)
 
== Asking for Opinions ==
 
Sometimes, you may want to ask for the opinion of others. Here are some phrases that you can use in Western Frisian:
 
{| class="wikitable"

Hi Western Frisian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will focus on how to give your opinion in Western Frisian. It can be quite tricky to express your thoughts and beliefs in a foreign language, but with some practice, you will become more confident in expressing your ideas.

To further emphasize your agreement in a casual setting, you can also use slang:
