AGREEING and disagreeing

Disagreeing
I disagree No estoy de acuerdo. Es una manera algo fuerte de expresar desacuerdo en inglés. En su lugar y para no dar la impresión de ser descortés, se suele mostrar un acuerdo parcial antes de mostrarse en desacuerdo, por ejemplo I see what you mean, but… / That's right, but…
Expressing disagreement ·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.
Expressing complete disagreement In my opinion, fashion is a complete waste of time, money and resources. I disagree entirely. The world would be a boring place without change. In my view, government money shouldn't be used to support the Arts. I'm afraid I can't agree. Public support for the Arts is the hallmark of a civilized society.
·Not necessarily. ·That's not always true. ·That's not always the case. ·No, I'm not so sure about that.
Using irony to express disagreement Besides, the production lines are often highly mechanized. Come off it! Agriculture in the Third World is still fairly labour intensive.
Interruptions ·Can I add something here? ·Is it okay if I jump in for a second? ·If I might add something... ·Can I throw my two cents in? ·Sorry to interrupt, but...
(after accidentally interrupting someone) Sorry, go ahead. OR Sorry, you were saying... (after being interrupted) You didn't let me finish. Settling an argument Let's just move on, shall we? Let's drop it. I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. (sarcastic) Whatever you say./If you say so.
Spend more time in Rwanda and you'll understand what I mean. Come on! The films we see on TV don't go that far. At least there's some censorship. Dismissing an argument as irrelevant or improbable. I bet you can get traditional Spanish wines and beers! That isn't the point. I'm talking about soft drinks. That's highly debatable. Some of the exhibits you see from contemporary artists are no more than tins of baked beans and piles of bricks.
