In lesson 3 of the first 3 Minute French course, we learn the phrase “pour moi”. Initially, we learn that it means “for me”, however, a little later on, we discover that you can use “pour moi” as a way of giving your opinion.

In English, we don’t tend to say things like, “For me, it’s good”, but in French, you do. It’s very common to say, “pour moi” followed by a statement that reveals your opinion. Because of the fact that we don’t really use “for me” in this way in English, we can translate it into English using “I think” or “in my opinion”.

  • Pour moi, c’est bon I think it’s good / In my opinion, it’s good
  • Pour moi, ça c’est fantastique I think that is fantastic
  • Pour moi, la nourriture est terrible In my opinion, the food is terrible
  • Pour moi, tout est parfait I think everything is perfect
  • Pour moi, la musique est trop forte I think the music is too loud
