Exegesis
The idiomatic question ti soi dokei {τί σοι δοκεῖ | tí soi dokeî} literally “what to you does it seem” is a conventional Greek way of asking for a deliberated judgment or opinion, which is why the English rendering shifts word order for clarity.
In context — Matthew 22:17
Say therefore to us, “What does it seem to you? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar , or not?”
