"Here is my two cents" vs "Here are my two cents"?

[nessie]

Hi,

Which of these two syntaxes should be used: "Here is my two cents" or "Here are my two cents"? (I think the former is more all right. Is "my two cents" considered as a whole and so it is used with a singular verb? )

P.S: I know "syntax" is an uncountable noun, but I just can't understand why it is. And because I can't think of anyway to express my idea, I did use the word wrong in my sentence, so please correct it for me.

Many thanks
Nessie

I think 'my two cents' is an abbreviation of "two cents' worth". So, as you said, "Here is my two cents" would be better.

Exactly, Haihao.
