Agreeing and Disagreeing

Halo sobat…………. Kali ini saya ingin sharing sedikit tentang persetujuan dan pertidaksetujuan. Yukzz…..

Seperti halnya dalam bahasa Indonesia, di dalam bahasa Inggris kita juga mengenal istilah setuju (Agreeing) dan tidak menyetujui (Disagreeing) sesuatu, atau terhadap pendapat orang lain. Banyak cara untuk mengungkapkan persetujuan, tergantung pada derajat persetujuan kita terhadap sesuatu itu. Berikut adalah beberapa contoh ungkapan untuk menyatakan persetujuan dan pertidaksetujuan

Ketika kita menyetujui sesuatu atau suatu pendapat kita mengatakan:

"You're absolutely right."

"I agree entirely."

"I totally agree."

Contoh :

Andy   : Friend, what do you think about going to the beach this Sunday?
Ando   : I totally agree, I’m free this Sunday.

Ketika kita menyetujui sesuatu NAMUN kita memberikan satu persyaratan atau memberikan suatu pengecualian, kita mengatakan :

"I agree with you up to a point, but…"

"That's quite true, but…"

"I agree with you in principle, but…"

Contoh:

Maria   : I think it is normal that he is very angry
June     : That’s quite true, but he shouldn’t hit his son 

Ketika kita tidak menyetujui sesuatu atau pendapat kita mengatakan:

"I'm not sure I agree with you."

"(I'm afraid) I don't agree."

"(I'm afraid) I disagree."

"(I'm afraid) I can't agree with you."

"(I'm afraid) I don't share your opinion."

Contoh :

July      : I think with ten men, Barcelena will lose three points
Andy   : I can’t agree with you, there is still 45 minutes more.

Catatan : “I’m afraid”  berfungsi sebagai “penghalus”, dengan kata lain kita mengungkapkan pertidaksetujuan dengan cara yang sopan.

Berikut daftar ungkapan yang bisa kita gunakan untuk mengungkapkan persetujuan dan pertidaksetujuan.

Agreeing

I agree with you 100 percent. I couldn't agree with you more. That's so true. That's for sure. (slang) Tell me about it! You're absolutely right. Absolutely. That's exactly how I feel. Exactly. I'm afraid I agree with James. I have to side with Dad on this one. No doubt about it. (agree with negative statement) Me neither. (weak) I suppose so./I guess so. You have a point there. I was just going to say that.

Disagreeing

I don't think so. (strong) No way. I'm afraid I disagree. (strong) I totally disagree. I beg to differ. (strong) I'd say the exact opposite. Not necessarily. That's not always true. That's not always the case. No, I'm not so sure about that.

Sekian sharing dari saya, semoga bermanfaat dan mohon dibetulkan jika ada yang salah. Keep Fighting.
