Character Breakdown

Usage and Nuances

The verb 同意 (tóngyì) means "to agree" or "to consent," commonly used in both formal and informal contexts. It often appears when expressing agreement with opinions, plans, or suggestions. When negated (同意), it clearly indicates disagreement.

Common Collocations

  • 同意意见 (agree with an opinion): used when expressing agreement with someone's viewpoint.
  • 同意计划 (agree on a plan): used in discussions about proposals or projects.
  • 同意 (obtain agreement): often used when approval or consent is required.

Pragmatic Notes

Using 同意 emphasizes explicit consent or approval, often in decision-making or negotiation contexts. It is more formal than just saying "觉得" (I think it's good). When asking for agreement, 同意 helps clarify whether consensus has been reached.

Common Confusion

Don't confuse 同意 with 赞成 (zànchéng), which also means "to agree" but is more about supporting an idea or proposal actively. 同意 can be more neutral, simply indicating consent without strong enthusiasm.

Example Sentences

I completely agree with your opinion.
