Meinungen ausdrücken
"What do you think about...?" turns a conversation from an exchange of facts into an actual exchange of views - a genuine A2-level speaking skill, and a natural place to reuse the dass-clause structure from Lesson 26.
| ich finde | I find/think (a judgment or evaluation) |
| ich glaube | I believe/think (less certain) |
| ich denke | I think (neutral, close to English "think") |
Ich finde die Wohnung schön. (I find the apartment nice.)
Ich glaube, dass es morgen regnet. (I believe it'll rain tomorrow.)
Notice the second example uses dass from Lesson 26 - the verb after it (regnet) goes to the end of its clause, exactly as that lesson taught.
Ich finde Berlin toll, weil es viele Parks gibt. (reusing weil's word-order rule, Lesson 26)
| Das stimmt. | That's right/true. |
| Ich stimme zu. | I agree. |
| Das finde ich nicht. | I don't think so. (literally "that I don't find") |
1. "I find the apartment nice." - Ich ______ die Wohnung schön.
2. "I believe it'll rain tomorrow." - Ich glaube, ______ es morgen regnet.
3. "That's right." - Das ______.
4. "I agree." - Ich stimme ______.
5. Which opinion verb signals the least certainty?
