What do you think
A very common alternative, interchangeable with '¿Qué piensas?'. It literally means 'What is your opinion?'.
Used to ask how something seems to someone. It's a slightly softer way to ask for an opinion, like 'How about it?' or 'What do you think of it?'.
A more informal and direct way to ask, similar to 'What do you say?'.
This color is pretty. What do you think?
What do you think of the food?

The phrases '¿Qué piensas?', '¿Qué opinas?', and '¿Qué te parece?' are standard and widely understood. For formal situations or showing respect, you would use the 'usted' form: '¿Qué piensa usted?' or '¿Qué opina usted?'.
In regions that use 'vos' instead of 'tú', the verb conjugation changes. You'll hear '¿Qué pensás?' instead of '¿Qué piensas?'.
The main difference is the use of 'vosotros' for the informal plural. To ask a group of friends, people in Spain would say '¿Qué pensáis?' or '¿Qué opináis?'.
Using 'pensar en' to ask for an opinion. — Don't say '¿En qué piensas de la película?'. 'Pensar en' means 'to have on one's mind' (What are you thinking about?). To ask for an opinion, use 'pensar de': '¿Qué piensas de la película?'.
Using the wrong preposition with 'pensar'. — The most common and natural way to ask for an opinion on a topic is with 'de'. For example, '¿Qué piensas de la idea?' (correct) is better than '¿Qué piensas sobre la idea?'. While 'sobre' isn't strictly wrong, 'de' is standard in this context.
Forgetting the opening question mark (¿). — In Spanish, all questions must begin with an inverted question mark (¿) and end with a regular one (?). Writing 'Qué piensas?' is incorrect; it must be '¿Qué piensas?'.
