concordo
In Portuguese, "I agree" is expressed as concordo.
You use concordo to show that you have the same opinion as someone else. While Eu concordo is a standard way to say "I agree," you can say Eu concordo completamente to express stronger agreement than Eu concordo or add the adverb plenamente to say concordo plenamente (I fully agree). To express strong agreement, you can also use the phrase Com certeza (with certainty).
Which one should you use?
While concordo means "I agree," you can also use the alternative Estou de acordo which translates more literally to "I am in agreement."
How does it change in a sentence?
The form concordo is the first-person singular present indicative, meaning the subject "I" is already built into the verb conjugation. When you are expressing agreement with a person or an idea, the verb requires the preposition com.
What mistakes should you avoid?
Avoid omitting the preposition com after the verb. English speakers sometimes mistakenly say "concordo você" instead of the correct concordo com você.
Did you know?
- In Brazilian Portuguese, instead of saying concordo, people often use the slang demorou! to express enthusiastic agreement or 'let's do it'.
- The verb concordar shares a Latin root with the English word 'concord' meaning harmony. This reflects the original idea of 'hearts beating together' or 'hearts in unison'.
- While concordo is the standard verb, in many Portuguese-speaking regions, you might hear people simply say Pois não to signify agreement to a request or a suggestion.
