뜻
To maintain a personal view.
문화적 배경
Finns value 'suoruus' (directness). Holding your opinion is often seen as a mark of honesty rather than rudeness. If a Finn says they 'pitävät mielipiteensä', they are likely being sincere, not just difficult. In the US, 'holding one's opinion' is often associated with 'standing your ground' or 'individualism'. It is a highly valued trait in leadership contexts. In Japan, 'holding one's opinion' (especially a dissenting one) can be seen as disrupting 'Wa' (harmony). It is often done more subtly than in Finland. In France, debate is a national sport. 'Maintenir son opinion' is expected and respected as part of intellectual rigor and the art of conversation.
Use with 'kiinni'
If you want to sound more natural and emphatic, say 'Pitää kiinni mielipiteestään'. The 'kiinni' (stuck/fast) adds a sense of physical grip.
Watch the Suffix
Don't forget the possessive suffix! 'Pitää mielipide' sounds like a robot. 'Pitää mielipiteensä' sounds like a Finn.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문Almost never in speech or writing. You might see it in a dictionary or a grammar list, but in a sentence, it needs to be 'mielipiteensä', 'mielipiteeni', etc.
Yes, but it sounds a bit dramatic. 'Pidän mielipiteeni tästä pitsasta' sounds like you are defending the pizza's honor. Usually, it's for more serious topics.
'Mielipide' is a general opinion. 'Näkemys' is a 'view' or 'vision', often used in more professional or complex contexts.
It depends on the tone. If said calmly, it's firm. If snapped, it can be very rude, meaning 'I'm not listening to you anymore'.
You say 'Muutin mieleni'. Note that you don't use 'mielipide' here, just 'mieli'.
