Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, asking for opinions is a sign of collaboration. The phrase ‘¿Qué opinas…?’ is informal; in a formal meeting you would use the usted form: ‘¿Qué opina usted de este proyecto?’ Also, note that ‘de’ and ‘sobre’ are both acceptable after ‘opinar’, but ‘de’ is more common in everyday speech.
