내가 봤을 때

What does 내가 봤을 때 mean?

내가 봤을 때 means "In my view" in Korean.

How it works here

‘내가’ (I) and ‘봤을 때’ (when I saw it) are used together to indicate that the basis for the judgment is the speaker’s perspective. Although it is the past form of ‘보다’ (to see), here it means “in my opinion” rather than referring to an actual past event.

When it's used

Used to give a judgment based on the speaker’s own perspective or assessment.
