“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,就 去 外面 吃 吧,不要 在 家 做饭 了。I say we should just eat out instead of cooking at 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.
  • 要我说,这 部 电影 不 太 好懂,只有 你 对 科学 特别 感兴趣 我 才 会 推荐。In my opinion, this movie is a bit difficult to understand. I would only recommend it if you are really into science.
