“要我说” (yàowǒshuō) is another, more colloquial way to say "in my opinion" or "the way I see it." It is generally used to express a person's perspective or opinion about a matter.

Structure

The structure is very simple. All you need to do is put "要我说" in front of your opinion. Context will take care of the rest!

要我说 + Opinion

Examples

  • 要我说,这件事先不要告诉爸妈。The way I see it, this is something we shouldn't tell Mom and Dad.
  • 要我说,干脆去外面吃吧,不要在家做饭了。I say we should eat out instead of cooking home.
  • 要我说,他就不应该跟老婆离婚。I think he shouldn't divorce his wife.
  • 要我说,带不带礼物都没关系,关键是人要去。 In my opinion, bringing gifts or not isn't what matters, the important thing is that people go.
