Another word for expressing opinions

• I think (that) — Я думаю, что

Самый простой и оптимальный способ выразить мнение — подойдет, как для формальной речи, так и для дружеской беседы. Здесь и далее «that» в скобках — это необязательный союз, который в устной речи может опускаться.

I think that your contribution to our cause is priceless. — Я думаю, что ваш вклад в наше дело — бесценен.
Hey, Jake, I think you were right! That new Netflix show is really awesome! — Привет, Джейк! Я думаю, ты был прав! Этот новый сериал на Нетфликсе — реально крут!

• I suppose (that) — Я полагаю (считаю, думаю)

По сути, то же самое, что и «I think».

I suppose that we have to change the policy of our company. — Я полагаю, что мы должны изменить правила нашей компании.

I suppose, you have a back-up plan. — Я так думаю, у тебя есть запасной план.

• I belive (that) — Я думаю, полагаю, считаю (букв.: «Я верю»)

Встречается несколько реже, чем два предыдущих. Обычно, если нужно сделать акцент, что вы в чем-то убеждены, придерживаетесь некой точки зрения. Более характерно для формальной речи.

I belive that some of your calculations might be slightly incorrect. — Я полагаю, что некоторые из ваших подсчетов могут быть немножко неверны.

Кроме того, «I belive» может буквально значить «Я верю», когда речь идет о том, верите вы во что-то или нет.

I belive that Santa Claus exists. — Я верю, что Санта Клаус-существует.

I belive I can fly. — Я верю, что могу летать.

• I suspect (that) — Я подозреваю

Подозревать и думать — разные вещи. «I suspect» может значить буквально «Я подозреваю», но часто используется как синоним «I think».

I suspect that my husband is cheating on me. — Я подозреваю, что муж мне изменяет.

You have a new car? I suspect you had to spend all of your savings. — У тебя новая машина? Подозреваю, тебе пришлось потратить все сбережения.

В первом примере ‘suspect’ — это буквально подозрение в «детективном» смысле слова, а во втором — то же самое, что и «я думаю, полагаю».

• I guess (that) — Я думаю

«Guess» буквально значит «догадываться», но в современном английском, особенно, американском варианте, это выражение очень часто используют как синоним «I think». Оно более характерно для неформального общения.

I guess, you are right, that game was a waste of money. — Думаю, ты был прав, это игра была пустой тратой денег.

I guess, we are gonna need a bigger boat. — Я думаю, нам понадобится лодка побольше.

• I reckon (that) — Думаю, что

Выражение «I reckon» (букв. «я считаю, полагаю») используется как синоним «I think», «I guess», но оно характерно для южных штатов США (хотя встречается и за их пределами). Оно может вам встречаться, но я не рекомендую им пользоваться из-за того, что у носителей английского языка с ним связаны определенные региональные ассоциации. Это все равно, что вы здоровались бы, говоря «Howdy» вместо «Hello». Вас поймут, но слово «Howdy» прочно ассоциируется с южными штатами и, в частности, вестернами.

I reckon, you guys are not from around here. — Я думаю, что вы, ребята, не местные.

• I’m sure (that) — Я уверен

Самый простой способ выразить уверенность. Если хотите сказать, что вы «довольно уверены», добавьте наречия quite или pretty (разницы нет), а если хотите выразить полную уверенность, добавьте totally или completely.

I’m sure your cake is going to be delicious. — Я уверен, что твой пирог получится вкусным.

I’m pretty/quite sure we’ve met before. — Я довольно-таки уверен, что мы уже виделись раньше.

I’m totally/completely sure that everything is going to be fine. — Я полностью уверен, что все будет в порядке.

• I have no doubt (that) — Я не сомневаюсь, что

Еще один способ выразить уверенность, пожалуй, даже более твердую, чем «I’m sure».

I have no doubt that the treatment works well. — Я не сомневаюсь в том, что лечение работает хорошо.

You are the best player in this team, I have no doubt! — Ты лучший игрок в этой команде, без сомнений!

• I am positive (that) — Я твердо уверен, что

Выражение «I’m positive that» передает твердую уверенность. Учтите, что «I’m negative that» — не говорят.

I’m positive that you will find your new position challenging. — Я твердо уверен, что вы найдете вашу новую должность непростой.

I’m positive that the numbers don’t match, and there is a serious miscalculation. — Я убежден, что цифры не сходятся, и здесь есть серьезная ошибка в расчетах.

• In my opinion — По моему мнению

«Opinion» — это мнение, точка зрения. Вы также можете сказать «In my humble opinion» — «По моему скромному мнению». Это выражение используется в виде сокращения «IMHO» («ИМХО» по-русски) в интернет-сленге.

In my opinion, they deserved what they got. — По моему мнению, они заслужили то, что получили.

IMHO, there is no easy way to say such bad things. — ИМХО, нет легкого способа сказать такие плохие вещи.

• This is just my opinion, but — Это всего лишь мое мнение, но

Это очень вежливый оборот, который поможет вам элегантно ввернуть в диалог ваше мнение или несогласие с чем-то.

This is just my opinion, but there could be other, less rude, ways to fire people. — Это всего лишь мое мнение, но есть, возможно, другие, менее грубые, способы увольнять людей.

• From my point of view (perspective) — С моей точки зрения

«Point of view» — это точка зрения, а «perspective» — подход к рассмотрению какого-то вопроса. В контексте выражения мнения эти слова — синонимы.

From my point of view, languages should not be taught this way. — С моей точки зрения, языкам не следует обучать таким способом.

From my perspective, this series is going downhill. — С моей точки зрения, этот сериал скатывается.

• As for me — Как по мне / Что касается меня

«As for me» — это простой неформальный способ выразить мнение.

As for me, I don’t like romantic comedies. — Что касается меня, то мне не нравятся романтические комедии.

As for me, I am a cat person rather than dog person. — Что касается меня, то мне больше нравятся кошки, чем собаки.

• Personally, I… — Лично я…

Используется, как и «as for me», когда вы хотите подчеркнуть, что данная точка зрение — это ваше ИМХО.

Personally, I don’t think that picture should be so expensive. — Лично я не думаю, что эта картина должна быть такой дорогой.

Personally, I am deeply concerned. — Лично я глубоко обеспокоен.

• To my mind — По-моему, по моему мнению

«Mind» — это буквально «разум, ум». Другими словами, «to my mind» значит «по моему мнению», «по-моему».

To my mind, the red dressed looked better. — По моему мнению, красное платье выглядело лучше.

To my mind, this is a fair deal. — По-моему, это честная сделка.

• My impression is (that) — У меня такое впечатление, что

Используется, когда мы делимся мнением, своей точкой зрения.

My impression is that your friend and his girlfriend don’t get along. — У меня такое впечатление, что твой друг и его девушка не ладят.

My impression is that he’s hiding something from us. — У меня такое впечатление, что он что-то от нас скрывает.

• To my knowledge — Насколько я знаю

Несмотря на то, что «mind» и «knowlege» значат похожие вещи (ум и знание), выражение «to my knowledge» имеет несколько другое значение, чем «to my mind». Оно значит «насколько я знаю».

To my knowledge, this building has only one entrance. — Насколько я знаю, у этого здания только один вход.

Есть еще вариант «To the best of my knowledge», который значит, по сути, то же самое.

To the best of my knowledge, most people don’t have time to read two books a month. — Насколько я знаю, у многих людей нет времени на чтение двух книг в месяц.

• As far as I know — Насколько я знаю

Ниже я приведу другие варианты выражения на «As far as I…», но пока примеры к этому:

As far as I know, money doesn’t grow on trees. — Насколько я знаю, деньги на деревьях не растут.

As far as I know, you’re supposed to be at school now. — Насколько я знаю, ты сейчас должен быть в школе.

• As far as I remember — Насколько я помню

Мы просто подставили другое слово в схему «As far as I…» и получили немного другое значение.

As far as I remember, this store is open 24 hours. — Насколько я помню, этот магазин работает круглосуточно.

As far as I remember, you were going to quit smoking. — Насколько я помню, ты собирался бросить курить.

• As far as I can see — Насколько я вижу

То есть насколько я понимаю, вижу, насколько мне известно. Необязательно «вижу» в буквальном смысле.

As far as I can see, your business is not doing very well now. — Насколько я вижу, дела у вашего бизнеса сейчас не очень хорошо.

As far as I can see, you’ve finished five tasks out of ten. — Насколько я вижу, вы выполнили 5 заданий из 10.

• It seems to me (that) — Мне кажется, что

Очень нужное и употребительное выражение. Используется как «кажется», «мне кажется» в русском языке — когда вы в чем-то не вполне уверены. Встречается, скорее, в формальной, чем в неформальной речи.

It seems to me that you are eating the sandwich wrong. — Кажется, ты неправильно ешь бутерброд.

It seems to me that one of our employees is stealing money from us. — Мне кажется, что один из наших сотрудников крадет у нас деньги.

• It appears to me (that) — Кажется / Похоже на то, что / Мне представляется, что

«It appears» и «It seems» близки по смыслу, но не идентичны. «It seems» — это просто «кажется», а «it appears» — это когда у вас сложилось некое впечатление на основе чего-то увиденного, услышанного, на основе догадки или информации. Я бы сказал, что «It seems» — более универсальное выражение. К тому же «It appears» менее характерно для неформальной речи.

It appears to me that our new bridge is not going to last long. — Мне кажется, что наш новый мост долго не протянет.

It appears to me that we can’t solve this problem alone. — Мне кажется, что мы не можем решить эту проблему одни.

• It looks like — Похоже, что

«It looks like» или просто «Looks like» — очень употребительное в повседневной речи выражение. Разумеется, ему не место в официальной речи или тексте.

Looks like you got a new girlfriend! — Кажется, у тебя новая подружка!

It looks like it’s going to rain. — Кажется, дождь собирается.

• With all due respect — При всем моем уважении

Как и его аналог в русском языке, это выражение — вежливый способ возразить, не согласиться. Часто за ним следует «I think/suppose/believe that».

With all due respect, I think that we need to think about it a little more. — При всем моем уважении, я думаю, что нам нужно подумать об этом чуть побольше.

With all due respect, it’s none of your business. — При все уважении, это не вашего ума дела.

Guide to Expressing Opinions with Agreement

Sometimes you may not need to give your personal opinion; instead, you can agree with someone else’s thoughts. And that would be your opinion too. However, besides agreeing to someone else’s opinion, you can add something more if you feel so.

In most cases, to show agreement, we say positive words. Usually, agreements are expressed in short statements. Here are some examples.

1. I think we should arrange a get-together. (Opinion)
   • I think so. (Agreement)
2. I find riding a bike is more thrilling than driving a car.
   • So do I.

10. This power-consuming machine is creating problems in the whole system.
    • You hit the nail on the head.

If you want to add something while agreeing with someone’s opinion, you can show reasons for agreeing. In that case, you can mention the reasons after the expressions I mentioned above.

For example:

• We should invite some experts to inspect.
• I completely agree with you. It may help us to decide whether to run these machines or buy some new ones.

How to Express Opinions with Disagreement

So, to mitigate the possibility of offending someone, you should share valid reasons for disagreement. Yet, you must know some specific expressions that may help you to disagree politely. Here are some examples.

1. We should rent a minibus rather than a microbus. (Opinion)
   • I beg to differ. I think a microbus would be ok as some of our team members are not going. (Disagreement)
2. This machine should be replaced. It’s giving us a hard time.
   • I get your point, but we can give it a try by repairing it.

   • I’m afraid I have to disagree.
6. She is a professional singer. So we can make her cultural secretary of the committee.
   • You have a point there, but I think she’ll not be able to give enough time.

• Learn different words/phrases to express your opinion perfectly. Your choice of words matters a lot.

• Be considerate about the context. In a formal context, be extra careful and picky in selecting words, tone, and body language.
• Don’t hurry to express your opinions. Let other people talk if the situation demands. Ask them to give their viewstoo.
