How it's used
This phrase is a versatile way to invite someone to share their perspective or judgment on a situation. It functions as a shorthand for asking for an opinion, making it much more natural in casual conversation than formal alternatives like 你覺得點樣. It is frequently used to open a discussion or to check if someone agrees with a proposed plan.
Examples
What do you think about this news story?
I am thinking of changing jobs, what do you think?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in overly formal or written contexts, as it is strictly a spoken expression. It is also not a direct translation for the English verb phrase to watch, so do not use it when asking someone if they have seen a movie or a show.
