설명 de_acuerdo_con in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should focus on the most basic use of this phrase: expressing that you agree with someone. Instead of saying 'I agree,' you learn to say 'Estoy de acuerdo.' You use it with the verb 'estar' to talk about simple opinions, like agreeing on a place to eat or a movie to watch. You might also see it in very simple instructions. The key at this level is just recognizing that 'de acuerdo' means 'okay' or 'in agreement.' You don't need to worry about complex citations yet. Just remember: 'Estoy de acuerdo con mi amigo.' (I agree with my friend). It is a fixed expression that doesn't change much. Even if you are a girl, you still say 'de acuerdo' (not 'de acuerda'). It is a very friendly and essential phrase for basic social interaction in Spanish.

At the A2 level, you begin to use 'de acuerdo con' to refer to simple sources of information. You might say 'De acuerdo con el mapa...' (According to the map...) or 'De acuerdo con el tiempo...' (According to the weather...). You are starting to move beyond just personal opinions and into describing the world around you using external references. You will also learn the reflexive version: 'ponerse de acuerdo.' This is very useful for making plans with friends. For example, 'Nos pusimos de acuerdo para ir a la playa.' (We agreed to go to the beach). You should also be careful with the pronouns you use after 'con,' learning that 'with me' is 'conmigo' and 'with you' is 'contigo.' This level is about expanding the context from just 'me' to 'the things around me.'

At the B1 level, 'de acuerdo con' becomes a vital tool for organizing your thoughts and justifying your arguments. You are now expected to use it in more formal writing, such as emails to a boss or short essays. You will use it to cite rules, regulations, and the opinions of experts. For instance, 'De acuerdo con los expertos, es importante reciclar.' (According to experts, it is important to recycle). You also learn to distinguish it from 'según' and understand that 'de acuerdo con' sounds slightly more professional. You will encounter it frequently in reading passages about social issues or workplace scenarios. At this stage, you should be comfortable using it to link an action to its justification, showing a clear logical progression in your Spanish speech and writing.

At the B2 level, you should use 'de acuerdo con' with precision in complex debates and academic discussions. You will use it to contrast different viewpoints, such as 'De acuerdo con el autor A... pero de acuerdo con el autor B...'. You are also expected to recognize its use in legal and administrative contexts, which are common in the B2 exams. You will learn to use it in the passive voice or with impersonal 'se' (e.g., 'Se actuó de acuerdo con lo establecido'). Your mastery of the phrase should include knowing that 'de acuerdo a' is common but often less formal than 'de acuerdo con.' You will also start using related expressions like 'en consonancia con' to vary your vocabulary. This level requires a nuanced understanding of when to use this phrase to sound authoritative and well-informed.

At the C1 level, your use of 'de acuerdo con' should be flawless and stylistically varied. You will use it to navigate highly technical or abstract texts. You understand the subtle differences between 'de acuerdo con,' 'conforme a,' and 'a tenor de,' and you choose the one that fits the specific register of your writing. You can use the phrase to introduce complex caveats or to align your arguments with specific philosophical or scientific frameworks. You will also notice how the phrase is used in sophisticated literature to create a specific tone. Your ability to use 'de acuerdo con' in the middle of long, complex sentences without losing the grammatical thread is a hallmark of this level. You are not just using the phrase; you are using it to build a sophisticated and persuasive rhetorical structure.

At the C2 level, 'de acuerdo con' is part of a vast repertoire of connective tissue you use to create seamless, native-level discourse. You can identify and use the phrase in its most archaic or specialized forms found in classical literature or high-level legal jurisprudence. You understand the historical evolution of the phrase and can use it to mimic different styles of Spanish, from the ultra-formal to the highly technical. Your use of the phrase is so natural that it disappears into the flow of your argument, serving as a perfect bridge between ideas. You are also capable of critiquing the use of the phrase in others' writing, identifying when it is used redundantly or when a more precise alternative like 'en virtud de' would be superior. At this level, you have total mastery over the phrase's nuances, register, and stylistic impact.

de_acuerdo_con 30초 만에

A formal way to say 'according to' or 'in accordance with.'
Used with 'estar' to mean 'to agree with' someone or something.
Essential for citing sources, rules, and regulations in professional contexts.
More formal than 'según' and strictly requires 'con' when referring to people.

The phrase de acuerdo con is a cornerstone of formal and semi-formal Spanish communication. At its most basic level, it translates to 'in accordance with' or 'according to.' However, its utility extends far beyond simple citation. It functions as a prepositional locution that establishes a relationship of alignment, conformity, or agreement between two ideas, actions, or entities. When you use this phrase, you are signaling that something is being done following a specific set of rules, a particular person's opinion, or a factual source of information. It is the linguistic glue used to justify actions based on precedents or regulations.

Semantic Alignment: This phrase indicates that the subject's actions or the state of affairs matches a referenced standard. For example, if a building is constructed 'de acuerdo con' the plans, it means the physical structure perfectly mirrors the architectural blueprints.

Todo se desarrolló de acuerdo con lo previsto por el comité organizador.

In everyday conversation, while 'según' is a shorter and more common alternative, de acuerdo con adds a layer of precision and authority. It is the preferred choice in legal documents, academic essays, and professional emails. It suggests a level of rigor—that you aren't just giving a vague idea of what someone said, but rather citing them as a definitive authority or rule. In many Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in Latin America, you might hear 'de acuerdo a,' but 'de acuerdo con' remains the standard prescribed by the Real Academia Española (RAE) for most contexts, especially when referring to people or consensus.

Interpersonal Agreement: When used with a person (e.g., 'estoy de acuerdo con ella'), it transitions from 'according to' to 'in agreement with.' This is the most common way to express that you share someone's opinion or perspective in Spanish.

La empresa actuó de acuerdo con la normativa vigente para evitar sanciones.

Furthermore, the phrase is essential in journalistic writing. Reporters use it to attribute information to sources without sounding repetitive. Instead of always saying 'Juan dijo' (Juan said), they might say 'De acuerdo con Juan...' (According to Juan...). This allows for a more varied and sophisticated narrative structure. It also distances the speaker from the information, indicating that the responsibility for the statement lies with the source being cited.

Logical Consequences: It often introduces the logical basis for a following conclusion. If a decision is made 'de acuerdo con' the evidence, the phrase highlights the rational link between the data and the final judgment.

Los resultados fueron analizados de acuerdo con los parámetros científicos establecidos.

Using de acuerdo con correctly requires understanding its position within a sentence and the grammatical elements that follow it. Most commonly, it acts as an introductory phrase or a modifier for a verb. It is invariably followed by a noun, a pronoun, or a noun phrase. Unlike some other prepositions, it does not directly precede a verb in the infinitive unless that verb is part of a larger noun structure (like 'el hecho de que...').

The Introductory Position: When placed at the beginning of a sentence, it sets the context for everything that follows. It acts as a frame of reference. For example: 'De acuerdo con el informe, las ventas subieron.' (According to the report, sales went up.)

De acuerdo con el reglamento, no se permite fumar en el recinto.

When using it with the verb estar, it changes its meaning slightly to express agreement with a person or an idea. In this construction, 'estar' + 'de acuerdo con' is the equivalent of 'to agree with.' Note that in Spanish, we do not say 'yo acuerdo'; we must use the full phrase 'estoy de acuerdo.' This is a common pitfall for English speakers who try to translate 'I agree' literally.

Modifying a Verb: It can also appear after a verb to describe the manner in which an action was performed. 'Actuaron de acuerdo con la ley.' (They acted in accordance with the law.) Here, it functions like an adverbial phrase.

El presupuesto se ajustó de acuerdo con las necesidades reales del proyecto.

Another important usage is in the phrase 'ponerse de acuerdo con.' This means 'to come to an agreement with' or 'to reach a compromise with.' It implies a process of negotiation. For example: 'Me puse de acuerdo con mi hermano para el regalo de mamá.' (I reached an agreement with my brother regarding mom's gift.) This highlights the collaborative aspect of the phrase.

Formal Declarations: In official documents, you will often see 'visto y de acuerdo con,' which is a way of saying 'reviewed and agreed upon.' This is typical in legal signatures and administrative approvals.

El contrato fue firmado de acuerdo con las cláusulas discutidas previamente.

The phrase de acuerdo con is ubiquitous in Spanish-speaking society, though its frequency varies by register. You are most likely to encounter it in the following three primary environments: the news media, the professional workplace, and formal educational settings. In news broadcasts, anchors use it constantly to attribute quotes or data to specific sources, such as 'De acuerdo con la policía...' or 'De acuerdo con el Banco Central...'. This creates a sense of objectivity and journalistic distance.

In the Workplace: During meetings or in internal memos, colleagues use it to refer to company policy or previous decisions. 'De acuerdo con lo que hablamos ayer...' (In accordance with what we spoke about yesterday...) is a standard way to follow up on a conversation.

De acuerdo con las directrices de la empresa, debemos entregar el informe el viernes.

In academic contexts, students and professors use it to cite authors and theories. It is the Spanish equivalent of 'According to [Author Name].' Using this phrase correctly in an essay demonstrates a high level of linguistic competence and academic maturity. It shows that the writer is not just presenting their own ideas but is engaging with a wider body of knowledge. In these settings, using 'según' might sometimes feel too informal, whereas de acuerdo con provides the necessary weight to the citation.

Legal and Administrative: This is the natural habitat of the phrase. Contracts, laws, and judicial rulings are filled with 'de acuerdo con' to link specific actions to legal articles. It is the language of compliance.

La sentencia se dictó de acuerdo con el código penal vigente.

Finally, in social settings, you will hear it in the form of 'estoy de acuerdo con...' during debates or simple conversations about preferences. Whether discussing politics or where to go for dinner, this phrase is the standard way to express solidarity with another person's point of view. It is more formal than simply saying 'sí' or 'claro,' and it invites further elaboration on the shared opinion.

The Media and Documentaries: Narrators in documentaries often use it to introduce scientific facts or historical records, grounding the narrative in evidence.

De acuerdo con los fósiles encontrados, la especie vivió hace millones de años.

One of the most frequent errors made by English speakers when using de acuerdo con is the literal translation of the verb 'to agree.' In English, 'agree' is a standalone verb: 'I agree.' In Spanish, 'acordar' exists, but it means 'to remember' (in some contexts) or 'to decide/resolve' (in others). It does not mean 'to have the same opinion.' To say 'I agree,' you must use the expression estar de acuerdo. Saying 'Yo acuerdo con él' is a major grammatical error that sounds very jarring to native speakers.

The Preposition Trap: Another common mistake is confusing 'de acuerdo con' with 'de acuerdo a.' While 'de acuerdo a' is widely used in the Americas and is increasingly accepted by the RAE when referring to things (e.g., 'de acuerdo a lo planeado'), 'de acuerdo con' is still considered the only correct form when referring to people. Saying 'de acuerdo a María' is technically incorrect; it should be 'de acuerdo con María.'

Incorrect: Yo acuerdo con tu idea.
Correct: Estoy de acuerdo con tu idea.

A third error involves the misuse of the phrase when 'según' would be more appropriate. While they are often interchangeable, 'según' is more versatile. You can say 'según yo' (according to me), but you cannot say 'de acuerdo con yo.' You must use the prepositional pronoun: 'de acuerdo conmigo.' Beginners often forget to change the pronoun, leading to awkward constructions like 'de acuerdo con mí' or 'de acuerdo con yo.'

Number Agreement: Learners sometimes try to pluralize 'acuerdo' when many people are involved. They might say 'Estamos de acuerdos con el jefe.' This is incorrect. The word 'acuerdo' in this fixed phrase is a noun functioning within a prepositional locution and does not change its number based on the subject.

Incorrect: Estamos de acuerdos con ellos.
Correct: Estamos de acuerdo con ellos.

Finally, be careful with the word order. In English, we might say 'The results, according to the study, are good.' In Spanish, while you can insert the phrase in the middle, it is much more common and natural to place it at the beginning of the clause or immediately after the verb it modifies. Placing it randomly can disrupt the flow of the sentence and make it harder for native speakers to follow your logic.

While de acuerdo con is a powerful tool, Spanish offers several synonyms and alternatives that can help you avoid repetition and fine-tune your meaning. The most common synonym is según. It is shorter, more frequent in casual conversation, and can be used in almost all the same contexts. However, 'según' can also imply a sense of doubt or 'it depends' (e.g., 'Según se mire'), which 'de acuerdo con' does not usually convey.

Conforme a: This is a highly formal alternative, often used in legal or technical writing. It emphasizes strict adherence to a standard or law. If 'de acuerdo con' is 'in agreement with,' then 'conforme a' is 'in compliance with.'

El proyecto se realizó conforme a las especificaciones técnicas.

Another useful alternative is en consonancia con. This phrase suggests a more harmonious or thematic alignment rather than just a factual one. It is often used in literature, art criticism, or high-level corporate communications to describe how one thing fits perfectly with the 'spirit' or 'tone' of another. It translates roughly to 'in keeping with' or 'in line with.'

A tenor de: This is an even more sophisticated and somewhat archaic phrase used to mean 'considering' or 'based on the content of.' You will mostly find it in high-level academic texts or very formal journalism.

A tenor de lo expuesto por el testigo, el caso debe reabrirse.

Finally, let's look at en función de. While it can sometimes be used as a synonym for 'according to,' it specifically focuses on how one thing depends on another variable. It translates to 'depending on' or 'based on.' For example, 'El precio varía en función de la demanda.' This is more about a mathematical or logical relationship than a simple citation of authority.

Summary of Alternatives: - **Según**: Neutral/Universal.
- **Conforme a**: Legal/Procedural.
- **En consonancia con**: Thematic/Abstract.
- **A tenor de**: Intellectual/Formal.
- **En función de**: Logical/Variable.

Formal Citation

In essays, use 'de acuerdo con' to cite authors. It shows a higher level of Spanish than just using 'dice que' (says that).

Expressing Agreement

To sound like a native, use 'estoy de acuerdo contigo' instead of just 'sí'. It makes the conversation more fluid and polite.

Latin America vs Spain

In Latin America, you will hear 'de acuerdo a' very often. Don't be confused, but try to use 'de acuerdo con' in your own writing for maximum correctness.

Negotiation

When making plans, use '¿Cómo nos ponemos de acuerdo?'. It's the standard way to initiate a coordination process.

When you hear 'de acuerdo con' in the news, pay close attention to the next word—it's the source of the info, which helps you judge its reliability.

Not exactly. It is very common in Latin America and accepted by the RAE for referring to things (e.g., 'de acuerdo a la ley'). However, when referring to people, you must always use 'de acuerdo con' (e.g., 'de acuerdo con el jefe'). In formal writing, 'de acuerdo con' is always the safest choice.

You must say 'Estoy de acuerdo'. Never say 'Yo acuerdo', as 'acordar' doesn't mean 'to agree' in that sense. It's one of the most common mistakes for English speakers.

No. After prepositions like 'con', you must use prepositional pronouns. 'With me' is 'conmigo'. So you should say 'de acuerdo conmigo'. For 'you', it's 'de acuerdo contigo'.

'Según' is more informal and common in speech. 'De acuerdo con' is more formal and sounds more authoritative. Also, 'según' can be used to mean 'it depends' (e.g., 'según como lo veas'), while 'de acuerdo con' cannot.

In the phrase 'de acuerdo con', no. It is a fixed expression. Even if many people agree, they are 'de acuerdo' (singular). However, as a noun, 'los acuerdos' (the agreements/treaties) can be plural.

You can say 'Nos pusimos de acuerdo para...' or 'Acordamos...'. Both imply reaching a decision together.

Yes, it is extremely common. You use it to refer to contracts, previous emails, or company policies. It makes your Spanish sound professional and precise.

Yes, to introduce a clause. 'Estoy de acuerdo con que el gobierno baje los impuestos.' Note that this often triggers the subjunctive mood if it expresses a desire or opinion about an action.

It means 'to reach an agreement' or 'to settle on something' after a discussion or negotiation. It is a reflexive verb phrase.

In some contexts, yes. Both can mean 'OK'. However, 'vale' is very informal and mostly used in Spain, while 'de acuerdo' is more universal and slightly more formal.
