Choosing a room together takes more than saying yes or no. Practise giving your view, adding a reason and asking what someone else thinks in a short original dialogue.
The idea
Use bence or bana göre before a complete judgement: Bence bu oda ferah. Both mark the statement as your view. Add çünkü and a reason: Bence bu masa küçük çünkü altı kişiyiz. To ask a friend, use Sence bu renk nasıl?; for a polite or plural question, use Siz bu konuda ne düşünüyorsunuz? Another useful pattern is Bu seçeneğin daha iyi olduğunu düşünüyorum: the content of the opinion comes before düşünüyorum. Learn this as a whole phrase here; the clause structure belongs to the grammar lessons.

Watch out
Do not translate every “for me” as benim için. Benim için sessizlik önemli says that quiet matters to you personally. Bence bu masa pahalı gives your judgement of the price. The meanings can overlap in context, but personal importance and an opinion are not automatically the same.
Try it yourself
___ bu masa biraz küçük. Give your own opinion; use either bence or bana göre. Write only the missing phrase.
Show answer or example answer
Bence / Bana göre
Bence / Bana göre: both work because the speaker is judging the table’s size. Nothing in the sentence asks for the listener’s opinion.
Bence bu oda daha uygun ___ daha sessiz. Give a reason: choose çünkü or ama. Write only the missing word.
Show answer or example answer
çünkü
çünkü: being quieter explains why this room is more suitable. ama would signal a contrast, which this reason does not provide.
___ bu renk nasıl? Ask a friend’s opinion: choose bence or sence. Write only the missing word.
Show answer or example answer
Sence
Sence: the question asks for a friend’s view of the colour. Bence would refer to the speaker’s own view instead.
Bu seçeneğin daha iyi olduğunu ___. Complete “I think this option is better” with düşünmek in the first-person present continuous. Write only the missing verb.
Show answer or example answer
düşünüyorum
düşünüyorum: the ending identifies the speaker as “I”, so an extra ben is unnecessary. The preceding words already tell us what the speaker thinks is better.

With a partner, compare two rooms for a meeting. Give an opinion and a reason, ask for the other person’s view, then mention one personal priority. Swap roles and choose a different room.
