Meaning
Expressing agreement with someone's viewpoint or belief.
Cultural Background
In Spain, directness is valued, but 'Comparto tu opinión' is used to maintain a level of intellectual respect during the 'sobremesa' (post-meal talk). Mexican Spanish often uses more 'softeners'. 'Comparto su opinión' is a very safe and respectful way to agree with someone older or in a higher position. While Argentines are known for passionate debate, 'Comparto tu opinión' is used in professional Buenos Aires (CABA) circles to signal sophistication. Colombian Spanish is famously polite. Using 'Comparto su opinión' with the 'usted' form is standard in almost all business interactions.
