문화적 배경
The phrase reflects the Western rhetorical tradition of 'linear logic,' where speakers are expected to build a case layer by layer. It draws from architectural metaphors, treating an opinion as a physical structure that requires 'reinforcement' to stay upright. It is a hallmark of high-level English proficiency, often associated with the 'Ivy League' or 'Oxbridge' style of debate.
The 'Power Up' Rule
Always make your second point stronger than the first. If the first point is a 'maybe,' the reinforcement should be a 'definitely!'

What It Means
Think of your opinion as a house. To reinforce this view is the extra concrete you pour into the foundation. It tells your listener that your first point wasn't just a lucky guess. You have more proof coming. It connects two ideas that support the same conclusion. It is the verbal equivalent of saying, "And if you don't believe that, look at this!"
How To Use It
Place this phrase at the start of a new sentence. First, state your main opinion or a fact. Then, start your next sentence with To reinforce this view, ... followed by a new piece of data. It works best when the second point is even more convincing than the first. It creates a smooth bridge between your thoughts. You sound organized and very persuasive when you use it correctly.
When To Use It
You will mostly use this in serious settings. Use it during a business presentation to justify a budget increase. It is perfect for university essays when analyzing a book or a historical event. You can even use it in a friendly debate about which pizza place is better. If you have two reasons why the crust is superior, this is your phrase. It shows you have thought deeply about the topic.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this phrase in short, casual text messages. If you tell a friend, "I'm tired. To reinforce this view, I slept poorly," you will sound like a robot. Don't use it if the second point contradicts the first one. That would be confusing! Also, don't use it more than once in a single conversation. It is a powerful tool, but too much makes you sound like a lawyer at a party.
Cultural Background
English speakers value logical progression in arguments. We like to see a clear path from Point A to Point B. This phrase comes from the world of architecture and military defense. Reinforce means to make a structure stronger against an attack. In conversation, it suggests that your opinion is a solid structure that can withstand questioning. It became popular in academic writing during the 20th century.
Common Variations
If you want to change it up, try To support this claim or To further this argument. For something slightly more modern, you could say To back this up. If you are feeling extra fancy, To lend weight to this perspective works beautifully. All of these do the same job: they build a stronger case for whatever you just said. Just pick the one that fits your personal style best.
