I ask you to express your opinion on this proposal.
'Esprimere' = es-PRI-me-re; stress on the second syllable.
Use at the decision point of a presentation to invite stakeholders to share their views before any formal vote or approval.
'Esprimere il parere' (to express one's opinion) is a formal phrase often used in board and committee meetings in Italy. It signals that you are inviting genuine input, not just formal rubber-stamping. It is softer than 'vi chiedo di approvare' when full approval is uncertain.
Cosa ne pensate? Siete favorevoli ad andare avanti?
What do you think? Are you in favour of moving forward?
More direct; for informal or smaller groups
Raccogliamo i pareri: chi è d'accordo?
Let us collect opinions: who agrees?
Invitation to a quick informal vote
Ci sono obiezioni prima di procedere?
Are there any objections before proceeding?
Assumes default approval unless objections are raised
In Italian company governance, formal decisions are taken by vote ('delibera') in board meetings. Before the formal vote, a period of discussion ('discussione') is expected. Inviting opinions explicitly facilitates this and is seen as good meeting management.
