disagree
word
Definition
To have a different opinion from someone, or to think that something is not true, right, or appropriate. It can also describe two things that do not match or fit well together.
Usage & Nuances
Common patterns are 'disagree with someone', 'disagree about something', and 'disagree on something'. It is neutral and standard in tone. 'I don't agree' often sounds slightly softer in conversation than 'I disagree'. It can also describe things like reports, numbers, or tastes that 'disagree' with each other, though that use is less common.
