Traditional Chinese - Opinions

我會覺得，___。

Wǒ huì juéde, ___.

I would say that ___.

Meaning: 我會覺得，___。 (Wǒ huì juéde, ___.) means “I would say that ___.” It softens your opinion before you say it.

When to use: Use 我會覺得 (Wǒ huì juéde) when you want to sound thoughtful instead of too direct.

Tip: Do not translate “would” literally as 會 (huì) every time in English. Here 我會覺得 (Wǒ huì juéde) is a natural softener.

我覺得___滿合理的。

Wǒ juéde ___ mǎn hélǐ de.

___ seems reasonable to me.

Meaning: 我覺得___滿合理的。 (Wǒ juéde ___ mǎn hélǐ de.) means “___ seems reasonable to me.”

When to use: Use it when you mildly agree with an idea, price, rule, or plan.
