Using 同意 to Express Agreement
Do you agree with me? In Chinese, we don't translate straight from English.
❌ |
wǒ tóngyì gēn nǐ. 我同意跟你。 |
✅ |
wǒ tóngyì nǐ de xiǎngfǎ. 我同意你的想法。 |
It makes sense because you don't agree with that person itself, instead, you agree with that person's opinion. Therefore, we have to always say: "I agree with your opinion". However, you can always just say: "我同意wǒ tóngyì!".
When expressing whether you agree or disagree with intensifier:
wǒ fēicháng bù tóngyì. ——> I very much disagree.
我非常不同意。
wǒ bù tóngyì. ——> I don't agree.
我不同意。
wǒ bù tài tóngyì. ——> I don't quite agree.
我不太同意。
wǒ tóngyì. ——> I agree.
我同意。
wǒ fēicháng tóngyì. ——> I very much agree.
我非常同意。
You can add different intensifiers to soften or strengthen your opinion! Pretty easy, isn't it?
