Visual guide
Opinion frame [who thinks?] + [idea] I think + this is good according to Anna + idea = someone's view, not bare fact
Compare source marking: Bare fact: This is a good idea. Opinion: I think it is. Report: Anna says it is. Feeling: It seems to me. Some langs use particles/evidentials.
语言视角
用母语深入讲解
Opinion frames commonly use 我觉得, 我认为, 我想, followed by a clause without an English-style “that” requirement.
我觉得这个很好。
wǒ juéde zhè ge hěn hǎo = I feel/think this is good
在所学语言中
英语常用 I think、I believe、in my view、it seems to me 等表达,把一句话标记为个人看法、判断或感觉,也可以让语气更委婉。
I think this is useful.
I think:意见框架,表示后面的 this is useful 是说话人的看法。
学习者可能过度使用 I think,或者完全不用缓和表达,导致语气显得太直接。
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
