Latin Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Latin learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Latin. We will look at the different ways to express your opinion and how to use them in a sentence. We will also look at some examples of how to use these expressions in everyday conversations. So let's get started!

Expressing Your Opinion

The most common way to express your opinion in Latin is to use the verb puto (I think). This verb can be used in both affirmative and negative sentences. For example:

  • Puto bonum esse (I think it is good)
  • Puto non bonum esse (I don't think it is good)

You can also use the verb credo (I believe) to express your opinion. For example:

  • Credo bonum esse (I believe it is good)
  • Credo non bonum esse (I don't believe it is good)

Another way to express your opinion is to use the verb video (I see). This verb is used to express agreement or disagreement with someone else's opinion. For example:

  • Video bonum esse (I agree that it is good)
  • Video non bonum esse (I disagree that it is good)

Examples

Here are some examples of how to use these expressions in everyday conversations:
