what say you
How do you vote?
What say you is a slightly formal or theatrical way of asking someone's opinion or decision: We could leave tonight or wait until morning—what say you?
The inverted syntax gives it an old-fashioned or playful tone, often used when soliciting a vote or verdict.
Common in courtroom dramas and deliberative settings.
