To clarify all details.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Russian business culture, 'putting the dots over the i's' often happens in informal settings like a business dinner, where the 'real' talk occurs after the formal meeting. Classical Russian authors often used this phrase to signal a moral climax or a moment of truth for their characters. Because of the complex nature of Russian bureaucracy, this phrase is frequently used when a final official document is issued that settles a long-standing dispute. Bloggers often use this phrase in the title of 'drama' videos where they explain their side of a conflict with another influencer.
Use 'Все'
Add 'все' (all) to sound more natural: 'расставить все точки над и'. It adds a sense of thoroughness.
Don't over-use
This is a 'heavy' idiom. If you use it every time you ask for a clarification, you will sound very dramatic.

5 सवालTechnically yes, but it sounds better for significant issues like contracts, relationships, or long-standing misunderstandings.
Both are correct. 'Поставить' is more common for a single act of clarification, while 'расставить' implies going through several points.
Because it refers to the old letter 'і' which had a dot. 'Й' has a 'breve' (a little curve), not a dot.
It's neutral-formal. You can use it with your boss or your partner, but maybe not with a toddler.
Not exactly. It means to finish by making everything clear. You can finish a cake, but you can't 'put the dots over the i' on a cake.
