先看简短解释

How smart people say "What should I do?"

Instead of "What should I do?", ask "What do you suggest?" when you talk to a boss or client, and "What would you do?" when you talk to a friend you trust. When you want to sound focused and ready to act, ask "What's my next move?" All three ask for advice, but each one fits a different person and situation.

逐句讲解

What do you suggest? 语气: Polite and open

Use it with a boss, client, or colleague when you want their idea and you're open to it. It's a little formal for a close friend, but it still works there.

“Griff, what do you suggest?”

出自The Baron of Arizona (1950)
What would you do? 语气: Friendly and personal

Ask a friend you trust when you want their personal opinion, not an official answer. Avoid it in formal situations where the other person can't really put themselves in your position.

“What would you do, Holiness?”

出自Kundun (1998)
What's my next move? 语气: Bold and focused

Here, move means your next step, like in a game. Use it when you're ready to act and want a plan. It sounds too casual for a sad or serious personal moment.

“Well, what's my next move?”

出自Something in the Wind (1947)
What would you recommend? 语气: Polite and professional

Use it with someone who has more experience, such as a manager, a shop assistant, or a waiter. It asks for their expert choice. With a close friend, it can sound a little stiff.
If you were me, what would you do? 语气: Warm and honest

Use it when you want someone to imagine your exact situation. It works well with friends and family. It's longer, so it fits a real talk, not a quick question.
What are my options? 语气: Calm and practical

Use it when you want a list of possible choices before you decide. It's good with banks, offices, and customer service. It doesn't ask for a personal opinion.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~What do you suggest me?~~

更合适的说法 What do you suggest? / What do you suggest I do?

Suggest doesn't take a person right after it. Use it alone, or add a clause such as "I do." You can also say "What would you suggest?"
不太合适 ~~What you would do?~~

更合适的说法 What would you do?

In a direct question, the helper verb would comes before the subject you. Keep "you would" order only inside another sentence, as in "Tell me what you would do."
不太合适 ~~If I were you, what would you do?~~

更合适的说法 If you were me, what would you do?

You're asking the other person to imagine your situation, so they become you: "If you were me." People use "If I were you" when they give advice, not when they ask for it.
