Situasi formal contohnya adalah saat dalam acara meeting bersama rekan bisnis, kolaborasi dengan partner kerja, berdiskusi dengan guru dan
dosen, etc. Berikut contoh ungkapannya:

 I can’t be along with you. (Saya tidak sepaham dengan Anda.)

 I wouldn’t say that. (Saya tidak bisa mengatakan begitu.)
 I can’t agree with. (Saya tidak dapat menyetujui pendapat Anda.)
 I’m not sure about that. (Saya tidak yakin dengan hal itu.)
 I wouldn’t say that. (Saya tidak tahu.)

Informal Situation

Ungkapan ini akan lebih cocok untuk kamu sampaikan pada sahabat, teman sebaya, atau orang yang lebih muda darimu dalam kondisi yang
tidak formal. Contoh expression of disagreement yang pas adalah:
 Speak for yourself… (Itu kan menurutmu.)
 Not necessarily. (Belum tentu.)
 Are you kidding me? (Apakah kamu bercanda?)
 You must be joking … (Kamu pasti bercanda.)
 That’s ridiculous. I couldn’t agree less. (Itu konyol. Saya sangat tidak setuju.)

Totally Disagree (Sangat Tak Setuju)

Kamu juga bisa mengatakan ketidaksetujuan secara lugas, alias “sangat tidak setuju” seperti dalam expressing agreement yang sudah kita bahas
sebelumnya. Beberapa ungkapan yang bisa kamu sampaikan seperti ini:

 Absolutely not.. (Benar-benar tidak..)

 Of course not … (Tentu saja tidak..)
 Nothing of the kind! (Tidak ada yang seperti itu!)
 I disagree completely. (Saya sangat tidak setuju.)
 That’s absolutely not true. (Itu sama sekali tidak benar.)
 That’s totally unacceptable. (Itu benar-benar tidak dapat diterima.)
 I think you’re totally mistaken. (Saya pikir Anda benar-benar salah.)

Partly Agree/Not Sure

Biasa dipakai di situasi setuju terhadap ide atau pendapat seseorang, tapi tidak sepenuhnya setuju. Atau, mungkin ada hal yang harus diluruskan
dan dimusyawarahkan terlebih dahulu untuk mencapai kesepakatan kedua belah pihak.

 I agree with you up to a point, but… (Saya setuju dengan Anda sampai titik tertentu, tapi …)
 That’s quite true, but… (Itu benar sekali, tapi…)
 I agree with you in principle, but… (Pada prinsipnya saya setuju, tapi …)
 It’s certainly true that…, but on the other hand…. (Memang benar bahwa …, tetapi di sisi lain ….)
 I can see that…., but I think it’s also important to consider…. (Saya bisa melihat itu…., tapi saya pikir itu juga penting untuk
dipertimbangkan….)
 That makes sense, but could it also be true that…. (Itu masuk akal, tetapi mungkinkah juga benar bahwa….)
 I’d agree with you if…., but not if… (Saya setuju dengan Anda jika …., tetapi tidak jika …)
 I see what you mean with…, but I also think we need to consider…. (Saya mengerti apa yang Anda maksud dengan …, tetapi saya juga
berpikir kita perlu mempertimbangkan ….)
 That’s a good point, but in my opinion…. (Itu poin yang bagus, tapi menurut saya….)
