How it's used
While 睇法 is the standard term for perspective or opinion, it is almost exclusively used in formal or semi-formal discussions. In casual, everyday conversation, native speakers frequently use 諗法 instead, which feels more personal and less analytical. Using 睇法 often signals that you are about to provide a structured argument or a considered stance rather than just a passing thought.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 睇法 with 睇嘢, which refers to the act of seeing things or one's general outlook on life. 睇法 is specifically for an opinion on a particular issue, whereas 睇嘢 is a broader, more abstract concept.
