Meaning
To have the same opinion as someone else.
Cultural Background
Romanians often use 'Sunt de acord' as a polite way to start a sentence even if they partially disagree. It's a social lubricant. In the Republic of Moldova, you might hear 'Sunt de-acord' with a slightly different intonation, but the meaning remains identical. In Romanian business, verbal agreement ('Sunt de acord') is taken seriously, but always followed by a written 'proces-verbal' or email confirmation. The phrase is the standard translation for 'I agree' in all software UI/UX in Romania.
The 'De' Rule
Never forget the 'de'. Without it, you're just saying 'I am agreement', which sounds like you've turned into a concept!
Not a Verb
Don't try to conjugate 'acord' like a verb (e.g., 'Eu acord'). It will confuse people.
