Russian Сlasses: Phrases to express your point of view

Pavel Kuzmichev

Привет!

Let’s learn some phrases that aid us in expressing our points of view. The dialogue in the pictures shows one very popular option: ‘Я думаю…’ (I think…).

Here are some more:

• Мне кажется = It seems
• На мой взгляд = In my view
• Я считаю = I believe/I reckon

In order to emphasize that it's your personal opinion, use the word ‘лично’ - 'personally':

• Лично я считаю, что тебе не идёт это платье.
• I personally don’t believe this dress suits you.

Phrases for proficient students:

• Если я не ошибаюсь = if I’m not mistaken
• Насколько я могу судить = as far as I'm concerned
• Полагаю = I suppose/suspect

Informal one:

• Держу пари, ‘Спартак’ сегодня выиграет.
• I bet ‘Spartak’ is going to win today.
