Finnish Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Finnish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Finnish. Giving your opinion is an important part of any conversation, and it's essential to be able to express yourself in a clear and concise way. We will look at the different ways you can give your opinion in Finnish, as well as some useful phrases and expressions. Let's get started!

Expressing Your Opinion

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:

  • 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:

  • Minusta tämä on hyvä idea. (In my opinion, this is a good idea.)

You can also use the phrase minun mielestäni (in my opinion) to express your opinion. This phrase is used when you want to give a more detailed explanation of your opinion. For example:

  • Minun mielestäni tämä on hyvä idea, koska se auttaa meitä saavuttamaan tavoitteemme. (In my opinion, this is a good idea because it helps us achieve our goal.)

Finally, you can use the phrase minun näkemykseni on (my view is) to express your opinion. This phrase is used when you want to give a more detailed explanation of your opinion. For example:

  • Minun näkemykseni on, että tämä on hyvä idea, koska se auttaa meitä saavuttamaan tavoitteemme. (My view is that this is a good idea because it helps us achieve our goal.)

Useful Phrases and Expressions

Here are some useful phrases and expressions you can use when expressing your opinion in Finnish:

  • Olen samaa mieltä. (I agree.)
  • En ole samaa mieltä. (I don't agree.)
  • Olen eri mieltä. (I disagree.)
  • Olen täysin eri mieltä. (I completely disagree.)
  • Olen täysin samaa mieltä. (I completely agree.)
