In my view
You already have în opinia mea (in my opinion) and mi se pare că (it seems to me that). După părerea mea, literally "according to my opinion", is another common way to give your view. Change the possessive for other people: după părerea ta, după părerea lui. To ask, say Ce părere ai? to a friend, or Ce părere aveți? politely or to several people. Add despre for the topic.
Point of view
In punctul de vedere a possessive usually goes in the middle: punctul meu de vedere, punctul tău de vedere. Without the article, din punct de vedere + an adjective means "in … terms": din punct de vedere financiar (financially speaking). With a possessive the article comes back: din punctul meu de vedere (from my point of view).
Wishes
Aș vrea (I would like) works anywhere. Aș dori is more formal: use it in shops, hotels and offices. Mi-ar plăcea (I'd love to) works like îmi place: the person who would like something goes in the dative.
| who would like it | |
|---|
| I | mi-ar plăcea |
| you | ți-ar plăcea |
| he, she | i-ar plăcea |
| we | ne-ar plăcea |
| you (plural) | v-ar plăcea |
| they | le-ar plăcea |
Afraid, hard
Like mi-e frică and mi-e dor, these are built on mi-e (to me is). Mi-e teamă (I'm afraid) takes de + a noun, să + a verb, or că + a clause; as in English, mi-e teamă că also softens bad news. Mi-e greu + să means "it's hard for me to".
Liking a person
Îmi place filmul means "I like the movie". In everyday speech, Romanians often add de when the one they like is a person: îmi place de el. It often means you fancy them.
