Alternatives to "to omoimasu ka"?

When asking what someone thinks, I always end the sentence with “to omoimasu ka?”

Are there any other ways to ask someone’s opinion on something?

Answer:

alternatives huh….

There are other ways but the level of formality will change. For example:

“Do you think it’s pretty?” 
—-> “Kirei da to omou?” (informal)
—-> “Kirei da to omo-waremasu ka?”  (very formal)

“What do you think about it?”
—-> “Dou omou?” (informal)
—-> “Dou omoimasu ka? (formal)
—-> “Dou omo-waremasu ka? (very formal)
—-> “Ikaga omo-waremasu ka? (very very formal)
