✴️ #SUGGESTING
Why don't we visit an art gallery?
How about (trying) the Mexican restaurant?
My suggestion is to go for a cocktail.
Let's go to the new French restaurant.

✴️ #GIVING_OPINIONS
I think Lucio's is the best restaurant. The food is delicious.
We need to go to the Chinese restaurant. It's close to the office.

✴️ #AGREEING
Yes, exactly, because it's easy to get a large table.
Yes, I agree. It's very easy to find.
That's true. There's a nice view of the lake.

✴️ #DISAGREEING
I see what you mean, but I don't think we have time.
I don't know about that.
I think it's too far away.
That's right, but it's not cheap.
In my opinion, an Indian curry is the best idea.
Yes, that's a great idea.
You're right. The food is great.
That's a good point, but you need to book/reserve.
For me, a typical Spanish evening is a great idea.
