How it's used
Carries a slightly negative connotation, often implying that the person is being uncritical or sycophantic. It is frequently used when someone is blindly agreeing with a leader or a popular opinion just to fit in or avoid conflict.
Examples
You echo everything they say, do you have any thoughts of your own?

Common mistake
Avoid using this in formal contexts where you want to express genuine agreement or support, as it sounds like you are merely repeating someone else's words without conviction. Use 贊成 or 支持 instead if you want to sound positive.
