Expressing your Opinion in Odia[edit | edit source]
When we give our opinion, we are sharing our thoughts or ideas about a particular subject with others. In Odia, we use several ways to express our opinions, including verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Here are some of the commonly used ones:
| Odia | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ମୋ ମତ | mo mata | in my opinion |
| ମୁଁ ଏହି ବିଷୟରେ ପରି ଚିନ୍ତା କରିଲେ | mun ei bisayare pari chinta karile | I have thought about this matter |
| କୌଣସି ଦୃଷ୍ଟିରୁ | kounasi drushtiru | from my point of view |
| ମୋ ପଶ୍ଚାତାପ | mo paschatap | in hindsight/looking back |
| ସେହି ଅସ୍ବିକାରରେ | sehi aswikarare | in contradiction/opposition |
For instance, if someone asks for your opinion on a particular movie, respond with:
- Person 1: ଏହି ଚଳଚ୍ଚିତ୍ର କେମିତିକୁ ଲାଗୁ ହୋଇଥିଲା? (Ehi chalachittra kemiti ku lagu hoithila?) (How did you find this movie?)
- Person 2: ମୋ ମତରେ, ଏହି ଚଳଚ୍ଚିତ୍ର ବହୁତ ଦରାଉ ହୋଇଛି. (Mo matare, ehi chalachittra bahuta daraau hoichi.) (In my opinion, this movie was very boring.)
