意味
To alter one's opinion, decision, or intention.
文化的背景
In the Levant, people often say 'Ghayyart fikri' (I changed my thought) interchangeably with 'Ghayyart ra'yi'. It sounds slightly more casual. Egyptians might use the word 'Khalaas' (Finished/Enough) after the phrase to emphasize that the decision is final. In formal Gulf business culture, changing a mind is often phrased as 're-evaluating' to maintain a sense of professional stability. The verb 'Beddel' is used much more frequently than 'Ghayyar' in daily Moroccan Darija.
Master the Suffixes
The most important part of this phrase isn't the verb, it's the ending of 'Ra'y'. Practice 'Ra'yi, Ra'yaka, Ra'yuhu' until it's automatic.
Don't say 'Change Mind'
Never translate 'mind' as 'Aql' in this phrase. It sounds like you are getting a brain transplant!

The Art of Persuasion
If you want someone to change their mind, start with 'Mish mumkin tghayyir ra'yak?' (Is it not possible to change your mind?). It's a polite way to nudge someone.

よくある質問
10 問No, for a tire use 'Baddala' (بدّل) or 'Ghayyara' without 'Ra'y'.
'Ghayyara' is 'he changed', 'Ghayyartu' is 'I changed'.
The plural is 'Aaraa' (آراء). So 'They changed their opinions' is 'Ghayyaruu Aaraa'ahum'.
The root G-Y-R and R-'-Y are used extensively, but this specific collocation is more common in post-classical prose.
Say 'Lan aghayyira ra'yi abadan' (لن أغيّر رأيي أبداً).
Yes, it is perfectly formal. For extra formality, use 'Arju al-ilm bi-annani ghayyartu ra'yi' (Please be informed that I changed my mind).
In some dialects, people just say 'Ghayyart' (I changed) if the context of the opinion is already clear.
Not necessarily, but in Arabic culture, it's polite to give a small reason why you changed it.
'Ghayyara' is making something different; 'Baddala' is replacing one thing with another.
Say 'Anta ghayyarta ra'yi' (أنت غيّرتَ رأيي).
