US
/ˌdɪs.əˈɡriː/
Definition
To have a different opinion; to not match or fit.
Example

"Politicians often disagree on policies, but respectful discussion can help find common ground."
"The numbers in the two reports disagree, so the accountant must check for errors."
Explanation
Disagree means to have a different opinion from someone else. For example, if one friend likes fast food but the other doesn’t, they disagree about food. It can be polite, like in debates, or serious, like in arguments. Disagree can also mean that two things do not match, such as numbers that disagree in a report. Unlike fighting, disagreeing does not always mean anger; it just shows differences in views or facts. The opposite of disagree is agree.
