Personally speaking, (Osobně řečeno,...)

The way I see it,

That's my personal opinion.

That's about it, I think.

That's how I see things.

That's basically where I am at on this.

To be honest,

What is even more important perhaps ...

AGREEING

Absolutely.

As a matter of fact, I think you are right about that.

I can't disagree.

I completely/totally agree ...

I'd go along with that.

I'll go along with that.

I quite agree ...

That's a good point.

That's exaclty the point.

That's (just) what I think, too.

Yes, I see where you are coming from.

You are absolutely right.

You are right there.

You do have a point there, I must admit.

I see/ take your point, but ...

I see what you mean, but ...

I agree up to a point, but ...

You have got a point, but ...

I sort of agree.

I know what you mean, but isn't it also true that...?

That may be the case, but ...

I see where you are coming from, but ...

There is some truth in that, of course, but ...

There is some truth in that, of course, but I am not sure I agree completely.

DISAGREEING

But that's not always the case.

I am afraid I don't really agree with that/you.

I am not going to agree with that.

I am not so sure about that.

I am not sure I agree with you.

I am sure I don't agree with that.

I completely disagree.

I can't see your point at all.

I don't agree at all.

I don't really think you are right.

I think there might be another way of looking at it.

Not necessarily.

No, you are missing the point.

That's not the point.

INTERRUPTING

Can I just add ...

I am sorry, but ...

If I could just come in here ...

Sorry to interrupt but ...

ASKING SB'S OPINION

Would you care to tell me what you think?

UNCERTAINTY (NEJISTĚ)

I am undecided …

I am unsure ...

I am ambivalent about ...(nevyhraněný, rozpolcený)

I am in two minds about ...

It is not something I have very strong views about,

ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION (OBJASNĚNÍ)

You mean ...

Sorry, I don't really see what you are getting at

Sorry, I don't quite follow you

END OF AN ANSWER

… in my view, anyway.

That’s my opinion, anyway.

So, in short …

All in all …

And that’s about it, really.

STARTING/CLOSING A DISCUSSION

We could start by talking about ...

Let's talk about ... first.

I think we need to make a decision.

Shall we try to come to an agreement?

But on the other hand …

But at the same time ...

Although I must admit that … ( Ačkoli musím uznat, že..)
