المعنى
Asking for someone's opinion on a matter.
خلفية ثقافية
Asking for an opinion is often a prelude to a long discussion. Iranians value 'Ham-fekri' (thinking together). In Tehran, the phrase is often used rapidly in business to show efficiency and modern collaborative styles. Classical poets often used 'andisheh' instead of 'fekr', but the concept of questioning one's thoughts is a recurring theme in Sufi poetry. In Dari, 'Che fekr mikoni?' is also used, but 'Chi fikr mikoni?' (with a slight vowel shift) is the common spoken form in Kabul.
The 'Chi' Shortcut
Always use 'Chi' instead of 'Che' when speaking to sound more like a native.
Don't forget the 'Mi-'
Without the 'mi-' prefix, the verb becomes a command or a different tense. Always say 'mikoni', not 'koni'.

Yes, but usually you add 'be' (to). 'Be che fekr mikoni?' means 'What are you thinking about right now?'.
'Fekr' is the process of thinking; 'Nazar' is the final opinion or viewpoint.
Start with 'Fekr mikonam...' (I think...) or 'Be nazaram...' (In my opinion...).
