Learning notes
Explanation
ความเห็น is formed from ความ, which makes an abstract noun, and เห็น, which can mean “see” or “think/consider.” The core idea is a judgment or view formed about something. Common patterns include ขอความเห็น “ask for an opinion,” มีความเห็นว่า... “hold the view that...,” and แสดงความคิดเห็น “express an opinion.”
Usage
It is used when asking for, giving, collecting, or referring to opinions in meetings, discussions, classes, news, proposals, surveys, and online comments. It can be used in everyday conversation, but it sounds a little more deliberate than simply saying “What do you think?”
Caution
When simply saying “I think that...,” ฉันคิดว่า... or ผมเห็นว่า... may sound more natural than using the noun ความเห็น. Also, ความเห็นชอบ means “approval” or “consent,” not “a good opinion.”
