Agreeing; Disagreeing
Cогласие, несогласие

Agreeing Disagreeing
Yes, certainly. Yes, of course. Exactly. Quite so. Right you are. That’s right. I quite agree with you. I agree entirely. There’s no denying it. That goes without saying. I think so. Looks like that. Most likely. As you say. In a way. My opinion is the same. |
Certainly not. Of course not. On the contrary! Far from it. I am afraid you are wrong. It’s just the other way around. I don’t agree with you. Nothing of the kind. I shouldn’t say so. Hardly. I doubt it. (It’s) hard to say. I’m not sure about it.
