d'accord is a versatile phrase used in both formal and informal situations to express agreement, understanding or approval.
Meaning: interjection that expresses agreement (intj)
Which one should you use?
While d'accord can be used as a standalone interjection to mean "okay", it is also used with a prepositional phrase to mean "in agreement with someone" (d'accord avec quelqu'un).
How do you pronounce it?
The pronunciation is /da.kɔʁ/ and consists of 2 syllables.
What mistakes should you avoid?
English speakers often mistakenly use the verb avoir (to have) instead of être (to be) when trying to say "I agree" (Je suis d'accord). Avoid saying avoir d'accord.
