Questions & Answers about No estoy de acuerdo con ese comentario.
Why is it Estoy and not Soy? Why can’t I say No soy de acuerdo?
Is the de in de acuerdo optional? Can I say No estoy acuerdo?
It’s not optional. De acuerdo is a set phrase; you must include de.
- Correct: No estoy de acuerdo.
- Incorrect: No estoy acuerdo.
Why is it con after de acuerdo? Could it be en or sobre?
- Use estar de acuerdo con + someone/something: Estoy de acuerdo con ese comentario / contigo.
- Use estar de acuerdo en + point/idea/that-clause: Estamos de acuerdo en el precio / en que eso no conviene.
- Sobre goes with other verbs (e.g., ponerse de acuerdo sobre/en “to reach agreement on”), but with estar de acuerdo, prefer con (with a person or statement) or en (on a point).
Can I just say No estoy de acuerdo without specifying what I disagree with?
How do I say it with pronouns like “with you,” “with me,” etc.?
Why ese comentario and not este, aquel, or eso?
- ese (masc. sg.) agrees with comentario and typically refers to something near the listener or just mentioned.
- este comentario = “this comment” (near the speaker).
- aquel comentario = “that comment (over there/removed in time).”
- eso is neuter and cannot modify a noun; you can’t say eso comentario. Use ese comentario.
Could I say el comentario instead of ese comentario?
Is there a more formal or softer way to disagree?
Can I say No estoy en acuerdo?
Where does the no go? Can I say Estoy no de acuerdo?
Does ese have an accent (ésé)? I’ve seen accents on demonstratives before.
How do I say “I don’t agree that…”?
Can I replace the whole predicate with lo like in “No, I’m not”?
How do number and gender agreement work here?
Ese matches the masculine singular comentario. For plurals/feminines:
- Esos comentarios (those comments)
- Esa opinión / esas opiniones
What are some natural alternatives to refer to the comment or idea?
How would I put this in the past, future, or to soften with conditional?
Any quick pronunciation tips?
What’s the difference between con and por here?
Can I say comentario ese (putting ese after the noun)?
Not in standard speech. Demonstratives normally go before the noun: ese comentario. Post-nominal placement is rare, emphatic, or literary.

“How does verb conjugation work in Spanish?”
Spanish verbs change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. Regular verbs follow predictable patterns depending on whether they end in ‑ar, ‑er, or ‑ir. For example, "hablar" (to speak) becomes "hablo" (I speak), "hablas" (you speak), and "habla" (he/she speaks) in the present tense.
