mi opinión
/mi opinjon/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'my opinion' is translated into Spanish as mi opinión.
For a more formal approach, you might use Según mi experiencia (According to my experience) to highlight that your opinion is based on personal experience or Estoy convencido/a de que (I am convinced that) to express a strong conviction.
How does it change in a sentence?
The noun opinión is feminine. This means if you use an adjective to describe it, the adjective must be in the feminine form, such as mi opinión sincera (my sincere opinion).
Did you know?
- To politely disagree with someone's opinión, a Spanish speaker might say no lo veo así, which literally means 'I do not see it thus' rather than 'I disagree'.
- While mi opinión is a direct translation, Spanish speakers often use the verb opinar to avoid the noun entirely, simply saying opino que to mean 'my opinion is that'.
- In some Latin American countries, the phrase a mi modo de ver is a common idiomatic alternative to mi opinión that literally translates to 'in my way of seeing'.
