まず押さえたいこと

Boys vs girls: choosing a desk plant

To decide where to put something with another person, start with "Let's take a look." Then ask "Where should we put it?" so the choice belongs to both of you. When you like the plan, say "That works for me." Between the question and the agreement, you can suggest a place with "How about...?" or ask for an opinion with "What do you think?"

表現ごとの解説

Let's take a look. 口調とニュアンス: Casual and curious

Use it before you decide, when you want to check a place, an object, or a problem first. It sounds relaxed, so it's less suitable for a serious inspection at work, where "Let's review this" may fit better.

“Let's take a look.”

使用作品：Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
Where should we put it? 口調とニュアンス: Friendly, open question

Ask this to share the choice with someone, for example with a roommate, a partner, or a coworker. Don't use it when the decision is only yours and you just want help carrying something.

“Where should we put it?”

使用作品：A Heartland Christmas (2010)
That works for me. 口調とニュアンス: Clear, calm agreement

Say it to agree with a plan, a time, or a place. It is polite and neutral, so it fits both work and home. It can sound a little flat if the other person shares exciting news.

“That works for me.”

使用作品：A Christmas Wish (2011)
What do you think? 口調とニュアンス: Open and respectful

Use it after you share an idea and want the other person's opinion. Don't ask it if you have already decided and won't change your plan.
How about by the window? 口調とニュアンス: Light, friendly suggestion

Use "How about...?" to suggest a place or an option without pushing. Change the end to fit your idea, such as "How about on the shelf?"
I'd rather keep it on the desk. 口調とニュアンス: Polite, gentle preference

Use "I'd rather" to disagree softly and give your own choice. Add a short reason so the other person doesn't feel rejected.

よくある間違い

惜しい表現 ~~Where we should put it?~~

より適切な表現 Where should we put it?

In a direct question, "should" comes before the subject "we." Keep the normal order only inside a longer sentence, such as "I'm not sure where we should put it."
惜しい表現 ~~That works with me.~~

より適切な表現 That works for me.

The fixed phrase uses "for." "Works for me" means the plan is good for you or suits you.
惜しい表現 ~~Let's take a looking.~~

より適切な表現 Let's take a look.

"A look" is a noun here, so it doesn't take -ing. You can also say "Let's look," but "take a look" sounds more natural and relaxed.
