I understand that people who are new are the main people who ask it but when I’m asked that I’m just always like “well there is no answer. For this scene I might use something like bla bla bla but you just gotta play with it and find out”
The funny part is it often comes from them taking pictures, not liking them, but not knowing how to troubleshoot. If they just posted the photos they were disappointed in and asked for feedback it’d be infinitely easier to help them.
I must know so that I can try to use them in a situation they’re unsuited for so I can complain about my gear and spend my retirement savings buying more expensive gear.
I know a photographer/teacher who got a call one time asking for the best settings. “Well, sounds like you should come take a class!” “No, no, no, I don’t have time for that, just tell me your favorite settings.”
Guy actually said “OK, ISO 100, f/8, and 1/640th, with daylight WB”. 😁🤪

If you are shooting the exact same scene in the exact same weather when the sun is in the exact same position then yes. Otherwise no
