متفق ہونا
muttafiq hona

To say who you agree with, put the person before the word for with, as in میں آپ سے متفق ہوں, which means I agree with you. To show complete agreement you can also say بلاشبہ, meaning without a doubt.
Meaning: to be in harmony about an opinion, be in unison or concord, be united (verb)
What does it mean word for word?
متفق means in agreement and ہونا is the verb to be, so the whole form literally means to be in agreement.

Only the second part changes for tense. The past, agreed, is متفق ہوا and the future negative, will not agree, is متفق نہیں ہوں گے.
How do you pronounce it?
It is romanized as muttafiq hona.
Did you know?
- In formal settings, agreeing with a superior often involves using جی or بالکل rather than متفق ہوں, as the latter can sound like you are judging the other person's opinion as equal to yours.
- While متفق ہونا is the standard way to agree, Urdu speakers often use a simple nod of the head combined with the word جی to signal agreement without saying a full sentence.
- The verb ہونا (hona) comes from the same ancient Indo-European root as the English word 'be', linking the two languages through thousands of years of history.
Examples in context
- جی بلکل، یہ بہت ہی منصفانہ حل ہے۔Yes, absolutely, this is a very fair solution.
