Expressing Your Opinion

In Belarusian, there are different ways to express your opinion. One of the most common and simple ways is to use the verb "думаць" (dumats'), which means "to think".

For example, if you want to say "I think Belarus is a beautiful country", you can say:

Belarusian	Pronunciation	English
Мне здаецца, што Беларусь прыгожая краіна.	Mn'e zd'ajet͡sa, shto Bel'arus' pryhozhaia kra'ina.	I think Belarus is a beautiful country.

Another way to express your opinion is by using the verb "сапраўдны" (sapraŭdny), which means "true" or "correct". For example:

Belarusian	Pronunciation	English
Мне здаецца, што гэта сапраўды важна.	Mn'e zd'ajet͡sa, shto het'a sapraŭdy vazhna.	I think this is really important.

Asking for Others' Opinions

To ask for someone's opinion in Belarusian, you can use the phrase "што ты думаеш?" (shto ty dumaeš?). It means, "what do you think?"

For example:

• Person 1: Мне здаецца, што гэта цікавае месца. (Mn'e zd'ajet͡sa, shto het'a t'sikaveie m'es'tsa) (I think this is an interesting place.)
• Person 2: Што ты думаеш? (Shto ty dumaeš?) (What do you think?)

Another way to ask for someone's opinion is to use "што па тваім ліку?" (shto pa tva'im liku?), which means "in your opinion?"

For example:

• Person 1: Мне здаецца, што гэта лепшае вырашэнне. (Mn'e zd'ajet͡sa, shto het'a l'epšae v'yrash'en'e) (I think this is the best solution.)
• Person 2: Што па тваім ліку? (Shto pa tva'im liku?) (In your opinion?)

Using Adjectives to Express Your Opinion

Adjectives are a great way to express your opinion in Belarusian. You can use them to describe your feelings and thoughts about something. For example:

Belarusian	Pronunciation	English
Гэта выдатна!	Het'a vydatna!	That's outstanding!
Гэта жахліва.	Het'a žachliv'a.	That's terrible.
Гэта прыемна.	Het'a pryjemna.	That's nice.
