How it's used
While often used as a formal verb in written contexts, in spoken Cantonese it frequently functions as a noun referring to the feedback or review given by someone. It carries a sense of professional or considered judgment rather than just a casual opinion. When you want to ask for someone's thoughts in a more relaxed way, people often prefer using 點睇 instead.
Examples
His evaluation of this matter is very negative.

Common mistake
Learners often use 評價 as a direct translation for any kind of opinion, but it sounds overly formal or academic for casual conversation. Avoid using it when simply asking for a friend's preference or feelings about something minor.
