How it's used
Carries a slightly formal or literary tone that makes it stand out in casual conversation. It is often used to sound polite or to soften a suggestion, making it feel more like a formal proposal than a casual question. Using it in very informal settings can sometimes sound playful or slightly ironic.
Examples
We are going for hotpot tomorrow, what do you think?
This plan seems pretty good, what is your opinion?

Common phrases
What is your opinion, sir/madam?
Common mistake
Avoid using this in everyday casual speech with close friends, as it sounds overly bookish or dramatic. Stick to simpler phrases like 點睇 or 覺得點樣 for normal social interactions.
