How it's used
Expresses a shared sentiment or agreement with someone's opinion or experience. It is often used to validate someone else's point of view during a conversation. Unlike formal written language, it feels natural to pair it with the verb 有 to indicate possession of that shared feeling.
Examples
Regarding this matter, do you all feel the same way?

Common phrases
strongly agree with the sentiment
Common mistake
Avoid using it as a direct translation for the English verb agree. While it implies agreement, it specifically refers to sharing an emotional or subjective impression rather than a factual consensus.
