Sono d'accordo con te.
I agree with you.
From Lesson 76:Conversational words (beh, allora, davvero)·Italian

Questions & Answers about Sono d'accordo con te.

Why does the sentence start with sono (I am) when the English translation says I agree?
In English, to agree is an action verb. In Italian, you do not use an action verb, but rather a state of being. The base phrase is essere d'accordo (to be in agreement). Since the speaker is talking about themselves, essere becomes sono (I am).
What exactly is d'accordo made of?
It is a combination of the preposition di (of) and the noun accordo (agreement). Because accordo starts with a vowel, the letter i in di is dropped and replaced with an apostrophe.
Why does this sentence use te instead of tu for the word you?
Both tu and te mean you for a single person you know well, but they have different jobs in a sentence. You use tu when that person is doing the action. You must use te when it comes right after a preposition like con (with), per (for), or a (to).
How would I change this to say we agree with you?
Because the phrase is built on the verb essere (to be), you just change the verb to match the new subject. For we, you use siamo, making the new sentence Siamo d'accordo con te.
