Turkish Grammar - Give your Opinion

Hi Turkish learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to give your opinion in Turkish. 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

When expressing your opinion in Turkish, there are several different ways to do so. The most common way is to use the verb düşünmek (to think). This verb can be used in the present tense to express your opinion about something. For example:

• Ben düşünüyorum ki... (I think that...)

Another way to express your opinion is to use the phrase sanırım (I guess). This phrase is used to express a tentative opinion or an opinion based on limited information. For example:

• Sanırım bu bir yanlış. (I guess this is a mistake.)

You can also use the phrase muhtemelen (probably) to express an opinion based on evidence or facts. For example:

• Muhtemelen hava çok sıcak olacak. (It will probably be very hot outside.)

Finally, you can use the phrase görüşüme göre (in my opinion) to express your opinion in a more formal setting. For example:

• Görüşüme göre, bu bir hatadır. (In my opinion, this is a mistake.)
