Estoy de acuerdo
neutral
The neutral way to agree in Mexican Spanish is Estoy de acuerdo, "I agree". In casual talk Mexicans accept a plan with sale or va, meaning "okay, deal".
Meaning: to share the same opinion or accept a plan (verb)
Ways to say it
| Mexican | Note |
|---|---|
| Estoy de acuerdo | neutral |
| Sale | casual, Mexico |
| Va | casual, Mexico |
Estoy de acuerdo is for opinions. Sale and va are for plans: ¿Nos vemos a las ocho? Sale.
Is it said differently in some regions?
Sale as "okay" is typical of Mexico and sounds odd in many other Spanish-speaking countries. Young people also say simón for a very casual "yes".
Did you know?
- The verb salir ("to go out") gives Mexican Spanish its casual sale, which has become a very common word for "okay".
Examples in context
- Estoy de acuerdo contigo.I agree with you.
- ¿Vamos al cine? Sale.Shall we go to the movies? Okay.
- Va, nos vemos mañana.Deal, see you tomorrow.
