to share what one thinks.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Intelligentsia' in Russia has always valued the 'right to an opinion' as a mark of education and character. Expressing an opinion is seen as a moral act. In Russian business, it is often expected that you wait for the senior person to speak before you 'высказать мнение', though this is changing in tech startups. On the Russian internet (Runet), the phrase is often used ironically or aggressively before a 'hot take'. The 'Special Opinion' (Особое мнение) is a formal legal term for a dissenting judge's view in Russia.
Use 'Своё'
Adding 'своё' (one's own) makes you sound much more like a native speaker: 'высказать своё мнение'.
Perfective vs Imperfective
Use 'высказать' for a specific time you spoke. Use 'высказывать' if you are talking about a habit or a long process.
