🌍

文化的背景

Koreans often use '우리' (our) instead of '제' (my) even when using this phrase, e.g., '우리나라가 좋다고 생각해요' (I think our country is good). In Korean companies, using '~인 것 같습니다' is often preferred over '~이라고 생각합니다' to avoid sounding too arrogant or certain, especially when speaking to superiors. In research papers, the plain form '~라고 생각된다' (It is thought that...) is used to maintain objectivity. Netizens use abbreviations like 'ㄴㄷㅅ' (short for ~ㄴ다고 생각) in casual forums, though it's very informal.

🎯

The 'Nunchi' Move

If you're unsure of the group's opinion, start with '제 생각에는...' (In my opinion...) before using the phrase.

⚠️

Don't be a Robot

Avoid using this for every single sentence, or you will sound like you are over-analyzing everything.
