"Jag håller med."

Translation: I agree.

[victorvican]

Is med always necessary without restating what one agrees with?

[Arnauti]

Håller med is a particle verb which means med is always stressed. Håller on its own just means holds. If you state what you agree with, it will be Jag håller med om det 'I agree about/with that'. If you state who you agree with, it's Jag håller med henne 'I agree with her'.

[s0mmerfugl_]

Is there a verb for "to disagree" then? And would it also be a particle verb with "håller"?

[Arnauti]

No, we just say håller inte med for that.

[victorvican]

Ah yes, thanks! I guess the German equivalent could be "Ich halte zu", though you wouldn't necessarily say that, rather "Ich stimme zu", which also does not restate whatever you are agreeing with.

[AnaBird2]

So "I agree with him" would be "jag håller med om honom"?

[Inali-k2]

What would the Swedish be for "We agree to disagree?"

[dantedante19]

"vi håller med om att inte hålla med"?

[RevShirls]

Better option might be "vi är överens om att inte vara överens"

[Patrick889093]

So instead of agree I hold with is closer to the truth

[Joshua118516]

Is there no word for "agree" in swedish

[Joshua118516]

?

[JohannDunn]

It seems that 'håller med' is the word for 'agree', it just happens to be two words.

Really starting to understand participle verbs with this one--literally "hold/s with" in one sense, but literally it makes sense.
