szerinted

Szerinted is a common Hungarian phrase meaning “in your opinion” or “what do you think?” It is used to inquire about someone’s view on a proposition, statement, or situation. The expression is widely employed in everyday conversation as well as in written text to invite an opinion.

Formation and function: Szerint is a stem meaning “according to,” and it can take personal possessive suffixes to form phrases such as szerintem (in my opinion) and szerinted (in your opinion). In practice, szerinted functions as an adverbial phrase that introduces or accompanies a clause about someone’s view. In formal contexts, the equivalent is Ön szerint, while in plural or informal groups one may say Szerintetek or Szerintetek ez jó ötlet?

Usage notes: Szerinted can begin a question or appear within a sentence. It marks the speaker’s request for another person’s judgment. It is neutral in tone and suitable for both casual conversation and semi-formal discourse. The form changes to match the person or group being referenced: szerinted, szerinte, szerintetek, szerintük.

Examples:

- Szerinted ez jó ötlet? (Do you think this is a good idea?)

- Szerinted holnap esni fog? (Do you think it will rain tomorrow?)

- Ön szerint ezt meg lehet valósítani? (In your opinion, can this be implemented?)
