  1. (transitive) to agree with (sth.); to consent to; to concur with (sth.)
    一致同意  ―  yīzhì tóngyì  ―  to agree unanimously
    這個我多半同意。 [MSC, trad.]
    这个我多半同意。 [MSC, simp.]
    Zhè ge wǒ duōbàn tóngyì. [Pinyin]

Usage notes

Chinese learners tend to erroneously use this verb like:

  ＊我同意你。  ―  Wǒ tóngyì nǐ.  ―  (lit.) I agree (with) you.
  ＊我跟你同意。  ―  Wǒ gēn nǐ tóngyì.  ―  (lit.) I with you agree.

In Chinese, it is used to agreeing with things (opinions, ideas, plans etc), rather than persons. The first sentence above sounds incomplete, roughly like "I agree with your". Furthermore, as a transitive verb, it takes its object directly (which however might be omitted/implied), not via a preposition. To say "I agree with you" in general, one could add 看法 (kànfǎ, “view/opinion”), 觀點／观点 (guāndiǎn, “viewpoint, perspective”), or other more specific nouns.

 
我同意你的看法。 [MSC, trad. and simp.]
Wǒ tóngyì nǐ de kànfǎ. [Pinyin]
I agree with you.
