Agree or disagree politelyوافق أو خالف بأدب

Opinions, plans, and solving problemsLesson 2 · B1 · 10 minutes

In this lesson

Disagree with an opinion politely.

The idea, simply

To agree, say I agree, You are right, or Exactly. The verb agree does not take am: say I agree, not I am agree. To disagree politely, first accept the other view and then give yours: I see your point, but … or I am not sure about that. Saying You are wrong directly sounds rude at work.

Examples

  • I see your point, but I disagree.

  • I agree with you about the price.

  • I am not sure about that.
