How do you say “agree” in German?

In order to properly express agreement in German it’s important to consider whether you’re agreeing TO DO something or agreeing WITH someone’s opinion.

Ich bin einverstanden. I agree (to this action).

Ich bin deiner Meinung. I agree (with your opinion).
Ich stimme dir zu. I agree with you.
Da hast du recht. You’re right.
Wir sind uns einig. We agree (with each other).

The noun “agreement” is Vereinbarung (f.) in the sense of a contractual agreement or a formal arrangement. To be “in agreement” one would have to use Übereinstimmung (f.).

Wir haben eine Vereinbarung über die Vertragskonditionen. We have an agreement concerning the contract conditions.

Wir sind in Übereinstimmung mit den Regeln. We are in agreement with the rules.
