in
way in i love this phrasal verb to weigh
in it means to add your advice
or comments to a plan decision or a
discussion so possibly there's a group
discussion happening and what you do you
jump in to give your comments so what
you exactly do you weigh in it means you
put in your advice
for example i would like to weigh in and
add another perspective to this
presentation
that's exactly you adding your own
opinion to it
sometimes it's better to listen and not
weigh in
always with your expert advice and
that's so true sometimes it's always
better to listen rather than
giving opinions all the time so that's
