The meaning of this phrase it “it seems to me that.” This phrase is mostly used when your opinion is not completely formulated, so it is a useful phrase for when you are not 100% sure. The English direct translation would be “In my opinion”. This is more natural than “yo pienso” (I think) and is also very easy to remember.

These variations give you a way to give an opposite opinion to your partner and are very useful. In contrast, the negative version of “you creo que” can be “no creo que + subjunctive” or “yo creo que no + indicative”. For some foreign speakers this is hard to remember, but the truth is that it sounds much more natural, and it is just a matter of getting used to use this verb. As you see instead of the verb “pensar” (think) we use the verb “creer” (believe). This is the most common way to say “I think” in Spanish. So let’s see some other phrases with which to give your opinion in Spanish. These two are very popular ways to give your opinion in Spanish because they are almost a direct translation from English. However, there are many other options and actually “Yo pienso” is not very common among native Spanish speakers. There are some typical ways to do it, that almost all Spanish students know such as “En mi opinión” (in my opinion) or “Yo pienso” (I think). Almost in every conversation we have in our lives, we have the chance to give our opinion.

When doing a language exchange, giving opinions is one of the easiest aspects to practice.
