Spanish Opinion Phrases - From Basic to Advanced
Basic opinion phrases are your starting point for expressing likes and dislikes. Me gusta (I like) and no me gusta (I don't like) work for almost everything - just remember your grammar when talking about parents or teachers!
For stronger feelings, me encanta (I love) and odio (I hate) pack more emotional punch. These phrases instantly make your Spanish sound more natural and expressive.
Advanced learners should master detesto (I hate), me gusta mucho (I really like), and prefiero (I prefer). The phrase "Prefiero las matemáticas a las ciencias" shows you can compare subjects like a native speaker.
Top Tip: Use me chifla instead of me encanta when speaking with older Spanish speakers - it's more respectful and shows cultural awareness.
Persuasive phrases like se debe (you must) and obligatorio (compulsory) are brilliant for debates and essays. Pair these with reason phrases such as me aburre (it bores me) or es divertido (it's fun) to justify your opinions convincingly.
The extensive adjective list provided gives you dozens of ways to describe anything positively. Words like asombroso (amazing), increíble (incredible), and fantástico will make your Spanish vocabulary shine in speaking and writing assessments.
