Questions & Answers about به نظر من این تیم خیلی خوب است.
What is the exact literal translation of به نظر من?
It literally translates to 'to the view of me.' به means 'to' or 'at', نظر means 'view' or 'opinion', and من is 'me'. The words are linked by the ezafe (the invisible 'e' sound connecting نظر and من), making it be nazar-e man. This is the standard, everyday way to say 'in my opinion' in Farsi.
Why isn't there an ezafe connecting این (this) and تیم (team)?
Demonstrative words like این (this) and آن (that) are exceptions to the normal ezafe rule. They sit directly before the noun they point at without any connecting sound. So it is simply این تیم, never اینِ تیم.
How would the end of this sentence change in casual spoken Farsi?
In everyday conversation, the verb است (is) usually drops its 'a' and merges with the word right before it. Because خوب (good) ends in a consonant, the attached verb just sounds like a short 'e', making the word خوبه (khube). A native speaker would usually say: به نظر من این تیم خیلی خوبه.
Can I put به نظر من at the end of the sentence instead of the beginning?
