Ideas, Opinions, and Agreement
Use these phrases to contribute an idea, ask someone what they think, and respond politely.
I would like to suggest another idea.
What do you think about this idea?
I agree with you.
I think it's a good idea.
I don't completely agree.
I understand your opinion, but I don't agree.
Useful contrast: Estoy de acuerdo expresses agreement. Adding no creates disagreement, and phrases such as no completamente can soften the response.

I would like to suggest another idea.
Sure. What is your idea?
I think we should change the plan.
I agree. I think it's a good idea.
Give and respond to an opinion
