Questions & Answers about Estoy de acuerdo contigo.

Why do we use estoy de acuerdo instead of a single verb like "I agree"?
In English, "agree" is a single verb. But in Spanish, to say you agree with someone, you use the fixed phrase estar de acuerdo (literally, "to be of agreement"). You conjugate the verb estar to match the speaker, which is why it becomes estoy here, and leave de acuerdo exactly as it is.
Why is the word contigo used instead of con tú?
After a preposition like con (with), you cannot use the subject pronoun tú. Normally, you would use the prepositional pronoun ti. However, con and ti have a special rule in Spanish where they merge into a single word: contigo (with you). The same thing happens with "with me," which becomes conmigo.
If a woman is speaking, should it be estoy de acuerda?
No, acuerdo never changes to match your gender or number in this phrase. This is because acuerdo is a noun meaning "agreement," not an adjective describing the speaker. You are literally saying "I am of agreement," so it is always acuerdo.
If I just want to say "I agree," do I still need to use con?
No, you only need the preposition con if you are specifying who or what you agree with. If someone makes a good point, you can simply reply, Estoy de acuerdo (I agree). But if you want to add "with you" or "with Juan," it becomes a fixed combination: estar de acuerdo con.
