"D'accord !"
Translation:Okay!
157 CommentsThis discussion is locked.
I'm sure my listening skills may just be rusty; however, this, when answered as "what is heard" also sounds like "decor." But, I digress. Not entirely sure if that's relevant, exactly how to fix/address it, or if it truly matters in the scheme of things.
You hear what you hear. but with practice, you will be able to listen carefully and understand it when you hear it. The audio is fine. Listen again and practice saying it. Also feel free to use a French dictionary app or one of the on-line dictionaries: WordReference.com, Larousse, or even Google Translate (not for translations which are notoriously bad) but for the audio.
natedog, I always put my (ear)buds in / headphones on before starting ( ! )
No, "got it" is: "Compris!" (informal, short for "J'ai compris!") It shows an agreement too, but the meaning is not the same.
Okay.., just thinking out loud. From what I have read and seen, it looks like the goal with this word is to demonstrate personal agreement. I gave all three answers to see if it would take them and it said I was wrong : ( , but I thought that might happen. I think this is one of those words that you just have to own up to in order to show personal acknowledgement and that you are in direct agreement with what is being said or done. I see words like absolument!, évidemmenttotally, exactement!, naturellement, that could be used as part of a sentence but none of these words mean that you personally agree. In order to achieve that you need to use the word D'accord. Everything else sound like a lupole. Keep smiling, and they will smile back, Peace everyone!
for the most part, yes. though you may see « » instead of " " and there is a space between the end of a word and a two part punctuation (e.g, Bonjour ! ça va ?)
are the meanings of "d`accord" and "ça va" same? i mean are they using in same situation?
GunayH-va, d'accord = agreed / OK (!) .........Comment ça va ? = Are you OK?
Announcement
Duolingo officially accepts 'agreed' as a valid translation of d'accord.
I would answer of course or okay to me there is no difference in English
Margaret, of course = Bien sûr ; (When last I did this,) DL "likes" : OK
Indeed = en effet.
It's an aknowledgement, but not a personal agreement like in "I agree".
oui = yes.
When you say "d'accord" (I agree), you say more than just "yes".
“I agree.” would actually be « Je suis d’accord. » (literally “I am in agreement.”) https://dictionary.reverso.net/english-french/I+agree
« D’accord » is translated as “Okay” or “OK” or “agreed”.
No, “That’s right.” means that something is correct. It is not exactly the same. If I asked you if you agreed that we should wait until tomorrow to do something. You might answer “OK”, but you wouldn’t say “That’s right.” unless I was repeating something back that you had said. So, « D’accord » can be translated as “Agreed” or “Okay” or “OK”.
Very wrong, that would be « C’est bien. » If I asked you, do you agree to be on time, you would not answer that way.
« D’accord » is “Agreed” or “Okay” or “OK”.
What are some ways I can misuse "D'accord?" and how should I avoid it?
I also was taught this meant of course but of course it can mean 'agreed' in English
Yes, I agree with most of the comment. Translated to English you would say Of course. Not agreed.
Of course = Bien sûr
Agreed! is not common but they also accept "OK" or "okay"
That is saying more than just “Agreed” or “Okay”. The expression may or may not work depending on whether you are agreeing to not do something. A deal involves give and take on both sides. A parent might expect a child to agree to something without offering anything in return.
Could you use "Je suis d'accord" to say "I am okay", or is "d'accord" used exclusively to express "okay' in the sense of, "Okay, I get it"?
"Je suis d'accord." would mean "I am in agreement." or "I agree."
"D'accord." would mean "Agreed." or "Okay"
You include exclamation marks and commas. In english it would be either one or the other. Let's move on.
Punctuation is not going to make you incorrect on this program for French, unless you are talking about the apostrophe mark which is not a comma and is required!
if "je suis d'accord" means "im agree" then how come "d'accord" means "okay". im confusing!
“Je suis d’accord.” means “I am in agreement.” which means “I agree.” “D’accord” is used the way we use “Okay”.
« Je reviens, d’accord ? » « D’accord » “I am coming back, okay?” “Okay.” In the question, “okay” actually means “is that okay?” The other person answers “Okay.” In the French question, « d’accord ? » actually stands for « êtes-vous d’accord ? » which means “do you agree?” and the person answers « D’accord » which can be translated as “Agreed”, but that is not common usage in English. we would use “Okay”. We “okay” things which means that we agree to them or approve them. This is different from the adjective “okay”.
My French teacher taught me that "d'accord" meant "to understand". Now I am confused, does "d'accord" mean "to agree" and "to understand"?
All by itself, "d'accord" means "okay" (in the sense of "I agree"). Here is a sentence to show you how it works: D'accord ! Je viendrai te chercher à la gare demain à 15 h 40. = Okay. I'lll come and get you at the station tomorrow at 3:40 pm. http://www.wordreference.com/fren/d'accord
Bother agreed and ok are acceptable translations. Duo will sometimes suggest the one you didn't use, but it doesn't mark it wrong when it does that.
Marge, (DL does not look at this page ( ! ); it is our "forum." ---When I think DL is wrong before I continue, I click on "report."
I dont Understand every single step they have problem. I dont khow. What is the Error. What they want. What it is exactly? Is it Agreed! or Agreed! and Okay! both? Does it have comma in between or not?
This is a ridiculous error. I have written agreed, okay, five times and it still comes up incorrect. i think there is a problem with your software.
markic, I can just say that the (French) Larousse dictionary [freely downloadable] likes "agreed or OK"...!
SundeepSa, Agreed or OK were accepted from me ( ! ) [ I did not use " ! " because duolingo ignores punctuation ] :)
this is stupid I copy it word for word symbol for symbol capital letter for letter but it still says I have got it wrong its driving me mad
I noticed some people copy all the possible answers instead of choosing just one answer.
“I agree” would be “Je suis d’accord.”, literally “I am in agreement.”
“Agreed” might work. Keep in mind that “okay” is just more commonly used.
last week when i wrote "Okay" it was marked incorrect. the correct answer was supposed to be "I agree." Today, I wrote the answer as "I agree." it was marked incorrect, and the correct answer given was Okay. ,
Sometimes people report sentences and Duolingo adjusts the answer, but are you sure that it wasn’t “agreed” ? “I agree” and “I am in agreement.” would be « Je suis d’accord. »
ALLinto, I actually got emails from DL twice, saying that they agreed with me; I think I fainted !!!
MONTE, Before you continue, you can "click on" : "Report." Then you can choose: "My answer should be accepted."
I translated it as 'agreed' which was marked incorrect. Is it not technically correct?

my answer has ALWAYS been accepted as "agreed" or okay,in the past. Why not now? When I say agreed.
Fine is not really used for this purpose. Are you going to come with me? Okay!
Let’s go to the beach! OK!
I have okay and am marked wrong even though that is what duo lists as the right answer
- 206
the list does not mean it's a correct answer, sometimes it's a suggestion for other circumstances. Stick with the first one.
sisalbichon, Of course, you could click on "Report," and then "My answer should be accepted." I do know that Duolingo "likes" : OK or agreed :)
Elzde, D'accord ! = Agreed! / Okay! // Je suis d'accord. = I agree.
John, Of course, we agree! I would use the little "REPORT" flag, then "My answer should be accepted."
That is also correct, so if it is not accepted try reporting it. Beware though that in English we are most likely to say Okay or OK.
what if I am getting the meaning across but not the same word i.e. okay, sure where my answers.....
What did you put? “Okay” or OK is correct. “Sure” is not actually the same thing.
Margaux, I find that I have to figure out what the computer program "wants" ( ! )
the Duolingo option for this does not have a situation therefore how do we know if D'accord is OK, Agree or in this case Right.
Ok and agreed are both acceptable translations . Right could be in the right context but I dont think duo accepts it because it's not as universal. Might be wrong.
As far as which to put in, in situations where there is no context duo will accept both possible right answers (in this case ok and agreed). It may suggest another right answer and people sometimes confuse it for an incorrect mark, but it's not. It's just a suggestion to remind you of multiple correct translations.
“Right” is not correct. If someone asks you if you agree to not do something, you would say “Okay”. “Right” verifies that something that someone said is correct.
You can only put one answer at a time though. Either answer will work.
I typed 'Agreed!' but it was saying that it was incorrect, I was so close to throwing my keyboard!!!!!!
just one question before it was "Je suis d'accord = I agree" and now just "d'accord = okay" and not "agreed". Is there a rule when it is agreed and when just okay or is this an mistake?
I put "Agree" and it was marked wrong. But the translation in the same question says the word means "Okay" or "Agree".
By itself, "D'accord" means "okay". The hints are for all sentences. "Je suis d'accord." means "I agree."
Well, sometimes OK does not mean fine. This is not the answer to how are you. This is when you agree about something. Shall we do this? You could answer "yes" or "OK" . "Je suis d'accord." means "I agree."
I put 'Fine' which a lot of English people would use instead of OK, but it was marked wrong.
You could try reporting it if you really use this when someone suggests something and you agree.
