--audio-id--

No, I disagree with you.

--audio-id--

EN59dce4e5

--feedback--

By saying that, Lisa would be telling Brian she is not in accordance with what he told her.

--video-solution--

1

--explanation--

Don't you think? can be used to ask for someone's opinion after sharing with them your thoughts.

To say that what you told them makes sense, they could answer I understand, which does not necessarily express agreement, but conveys the idea that they think what you told them is logical. For example:

  • Person 1: Studying is better than not doing anything, don't you think?

  • Person 2: I understand, but... - This means the person acknowledges the logic behind what you said. Using but right after indicates they might say something to contrast with this initial idea.
