Bedeutung
Expressing agreement with an opinion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the early 20th century, Budapest was famous for its literary cafes. Writers would spend all day there, and 'Szerintem is' was likely the most heard phrase as they debated art and politics. Hungarians value honesty. If they say 'Szerintem is,' they usually truly agree. If they don't, they are more likely to say 'Szerintem nem' than to give a fake agreement. In Hungarian villages, agreeing with a neighbor about the harvest or the weather is a key way to maintain social harmony. On Hungarian social media, 'Szerintem is' is often abbreviated or replaced by the 'like' button, but it remains a top comment for showing support for an influencer's opinion.
The 'Is' Rule
Always remember: 'is' is a shadow. It must follow the word it wants to emphasize. Never start a sentence with it!
Don't be a robot
While 'Szerintem is' is great, try adding a reason sometimes to sound more natural. 'Szerintem is, mert...'

Nodding helps
In Hungary, a small nod while saying 'Szerintem is' reinforces your sincerity.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
5 FragenNot really. 'Szerintem' just means 'In my opinion...' and people will wait for you to finish the sentence. You need the 'is' to mean 'I agree'.
Yes, it's perfectly neutral. It's respectful but not overly formal.
You can say 'Szerintem nem' (I don't think so) or 'Szerintem nem így van'.
Because 'szerintem' already contains the 'me' part in the '-em' suffix. Adding 'Én' would be redundant.
No. 'Is' means 'also/too' in the sense of addition. 'Túl' means 'too' in the sense of 'excessive' (e.g., too hot).
