to give your opinion · to share your thoughts, especially if not asked
Ever been in a group discussion, and you just *have* to share your brilliant insight, even if no one explicitly asked? 🤔 That's when you "give your two cents"! It's a humble way to offer your opinion, suggesting it's just a small contribution, but it's often used when you're jumping into a conversation or offering unsolicited advice.
Your friend is trying to decide on a new laptop, and you have strong opinions on the best brands. Which expression would you use to offer your advice? A. Give your two wishes B. Give your two dollars C. Give your two cents
💡 **Fun Fact!** This phrase comes from the idea that two cents is a very small amount of money, so your opinion is being offered humbly, as if it's not worth much. 😉 It's usually used in informal settings with friends, family, or close colleagues. You can soften it further by saying, "If you don't mind me giving my two cents..." or "Just my two cents worth."
