How to Say ‘I Agree’ in Portuguese: Concordar and Estar de Acordo — Practice

Use concordo to agree

Concordar is the everyday verb for agreeing. The present form concordo means ‘I agree.’ You can use it on its own when the idea is clear from context.

Use com before the person or idea

When you name what or whom you agree with, concordar is followed by com: concordar com alguém or concordar com uma ideia. The preposition stays com even when the English wording changes.

Choose a natural level of formality

Estar de acordo also means to agree and can sound a little more formal or deliberate. To disagree politely, say entendo, mas não concordo (I understand, but I don’t agree).

Remember: Use concordo for ‘I agree,’ concordar com before a person or idea, and estou de acordo for a more deliberate agreement.

Check your understanding

Choose the English meaning of each Portuguese example. Answer before looking back at the tables. These questions check the written examples in this guide; they are not a listening or proficiency test.

Recall the Portuguese, then say it

Read the English prompt and say a Portuguese version before opening the answer. The answer shows the example from the lesson; other natural translations may also work. Compare the meaning and the situation rather than counting a different word as automatically wrong.

1. I agree. That time is better.

   Show a Portuguese answer

2. I agree with you.

   Show a Portuguese answer

   Eu concordo com você.

3. We agree with the proposal.

   Show a Portuguese answer

4. Do you agree with the teacher?

   Show a Portuguese answer

6. I understand your point, but I don’t agree.

   Show a Portuguese answer

   Entendo seu ponto, mas não concordo.

Make the phrase useful to you

Choose one example you could actually use. Say it once from memory, then change one detail that fits your life, such as the person, place, time, or object. Check whether your change also needs a different verb form, article, or adjective ending. If it does, compare it with the pattern in the explanation.

Use concordo for ‘I agree,’ concordar com before a person or idea, and estou de acordo for a more deliberate agreement.

Return to two prompts tomorrow without opening the answers first. If a phrase still feels difficult, shorten it to a useful chunk and build the complete sentence again.
