You can say that again!

We use “You can say that again!” to express our strong agreement with someone. So basically, it’s a nice way of saying

“I agree with you completely” or“I have exactly the same opinion” etc.

I agree with you completely=You can say that again

So if I say, for example,

“it’s really cold today isn’t it?”,

instead of coming back to me with a dull answer like

“yes it is” or“I think so too” or“I agree”,

you can sound a little more interesting by saying

“You can say that again!”

Let’s practice. I say something and you answer “You can say that again!”. Ready?
