💡 Grammar Points

Feminine Plural

Remember that 'opiniones' is always feminine. You must use feminine words like 'las' or 'muchas' before it: 'Las opiniones son importantes.'

The Root Word

The singular form is 'opinión.' Notice how the singular word has an accent mark, but the plural 'opiniones' does not, even though the stress stays on the 'o' sound.

❌ Common Pitfalls

Gender Error

Mistake: "Los opiniones son variadas."

Correction: Las opiniones son variadas. (Since the root word 'opinión' is feminine, its plural form 'opiniones' must use feminine articles like 'las'.)

⭐ Usage Tips

Expressing Views

Use the phrase 'En mi opinión...' (In my opinion...) to start sharing your viewpoint in a clear and natural way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ask someone what their opinion is using this word?

A very common and polite way to ask is: '¿Cuáles son tus opiniones?' (What are your opinions?) or simply '¿Qué opinas?' (What do you think/opine?).

If 'opinión' is feminine, why do people sometimes accidentally say 'el opinión'?

This happens because many Spanish words ending in '-ón' are masculine (like 'el corazón' or 'el camión'). However, 'opinión' is a key exception and is always feminine ('la opinión'). Just remember to use 'las' for the plural form.
