"Concuerdo" and "Convengo"

Question

How would you translate, "I agree?" Estoy de acuerdo, of course, but I have never heard these other two offered, "Concuerdo," and "Convengo."

I agree with someone's statement.

Answer 1

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Concordar con alguien or concordar con la opinión de alguien it means also tally with someone..

convenir en : to agree on

Answer 2

Perhaps the third meaning for "convenir" (convenir en) could be used to translate what you want to say, but it seems a tad bit different from the simple "I agree".

Nonetheless, it would certainly be a fit for similar expressions:

3)

• convenir en algo = to agree on something

Conveníamos en la necesidad de un cambio. We agreed on the need for change.

• convenir en hacer algo to agree to do something

Convinimos en dejar de vernos. We agreed to stop seeing each other.

Look at this example especially:

• convenir en que = to agree that

Todos convienen en que está loco. Everyone agrees that he is mad.

Perhaps you could put this in the first person and say: "Convengo contigo en que está loco.

The last example sentence for that meaning number three is this one:

Convinieron en que el plazo fuese de dos años. They agreed that it would be for a period of two years.

For that one, I suppose you could say: "Convengo en que el plazo sea de dos años." (Did I get the "sea" right?...I am not going to look...:--)
