Cultural Tip
In Italian business culture, asking for opinions with “secondo te” is friendly and collaborative, but keep an eye on the register. In formal meetings or when speaking to senior managers, switch to “secondo Lei”. Also, Italians appreciate a brief justification after the answer, so be ready to explain your reasoning.
