I really thought that you could "guess" French thanks to your mother tongue ^^



Concerning "D'accord pas d'accord"
It really can't be French.
Why ? It is TOTALLY grammatically INCORRECT.

In English it makes perfect sense to put 2 verbs consecutively.
Agree to disagree
Kill to live
Hide to survive
and so on !

BUT
It goes against any French grammar lesson to put two nouns as "d'accord" next to each other (d'accord is not a verb. The verb would be "Etre d'accord" which is the "To be" verb)

(Well actually "d'accord" is a locution)

"Nous sommes d'accord de ne pas être d'accord" would be the correct translation. But, yet, it makes no sense at all.
And any French hearing that would make a funny face before going "lmao".



Oh and btw, "My mother is French" does not really give me her opinions on this debates ^^
That sounds retarded.
My father is Portuguese and my mother could communicate with him. (she didn't learn any Portuguese at all)

Concerning "D'accord pas d'accord", seen people using it (like on the forum I linked) so I just copied the example. A bad one.


Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.
