Agreeing and replying (de acord, în regulă, ai dreptate)

Agreeing

To agree, Romanian says to be in agreement: a fi de acord (cu cineva). Ai dreptate — you have rightness — means you're right; it is the verb a avea, so it changes with the person: am dreptate, ai dreptate, are dreptate.

I agree with you.
Sunt de acord cu tine.
I think you're right.
Cred că ai dreptate.
