Hi Faroese learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Faroese. We will look at the grammar rules and some examples. Let's get started! 🤩
Giving Your Opinion
Giving your opinion in Faroese is quite simple. To express your opinion, you can use the verb mæla (to speak). This verb is conjugated in the present tense like this:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| I | mæli | mælum |
| You | mælir | mælit |
| He/She/It | mælir | mæla |
| We | mælum | mælum |
| You | mælit | mælut |
| They | mæla | mæla |
To give your opinion, you can use the phrase eg mæli (I think) followed by your opinion. For example:
- Eg mæli, at tað er ein góður filmur. (I think it's a good movie.)
- Eg mæli, at tað er ein dálítugur filmur. (I think it's a bad movie.)
You can also use the phrase tað mæli eg (I think that) followed by your opinion. For example:
- Tað mæli eg, at tað er ein góður filmur. (I think that it's a good movie.)
- Tað mæli eg, at tað er ein dálítugur filmur. (I think that it's a bad movie.)
