An Opinion

An opinion in Customary Arabic is: رَأْيْ Ra? Y. The twin type of it’s: رَأْيَيْنْ and the plural kind is: آرَاءْ

In English, an opinion is known as a standpoint, which is: وِجْهَة نَظَر wijhat NaZar (or نَظَر وِجْهِة wijhit NaZar in Levantine Arabic) in Customary Arabic and وِجْهَاتْ نَظَر Wijhaat NaZar is the plural type of it.

1- Expressions to precise / state one’s opinion

We’ll begin with frequent phrases that one can use to precise / state their opinion.

A- Widespread constructions:

The obvious strategy to specific one’s opinion is to make use of the phrase “opinion” Votes as within the first expression we have now on the listing right here>

For my part (that) أنا بْرَأْيِ (إنُّو) <<

The phrase برأي may be adopted by the filler إنو however it’s typically non-obligatory and may be ignored.

Instance:

أنا برأي إنو المهرجان كتير رائع

For my part, the pageant is actually fantastic.

To me بِالنِّسْبَة لِلِي <<

The opposite expression is بِالنِّسْبَة إِلِي or what can actually translate as ‘in line with me’ is another strategy to say ‘assume / in my view.

Instance:

In accordance with .ليThe choice is all about a few of us who’re needed

To me/ I believe, the entire choice was not needed

= = = = = = = =

B- Verbal constructions:

I consider / I believe (that) (أنا (بِعْتِقِدْ ُِنُّو <<

I consider / I believe (that) (أنا (بْظِنّْ إنُّو <<

I really feel (that) (أنا (بْحِسّْ إنُّو <<

The above listing of verbs is used to start stating an opinion. These verbs are sometimes adopted by the filler إنو that however generally it may be ignored – as talked about above.

Examples:

أنا We consider إنو فكرتها منيحة

= = = = = = = =

* Agreeing & disagreeing:

Along with the expressions simply talked about, I now transfer on to listing some expressions that one can use to agree with يتفق مع or disagree with يختلف مع one other:

I agree with you بِتِّفِقْ مَعِكْ ُِنُّو <<

I really feel like that / assume that manner أَنَا بْحِسْ هِيكْ <<
