Cultural Tip

In German, agreeing with someone directly is common in professional contexts, but you often add a brief justification (e.g., 'weil ...') to show you have thought it through. The phrase 'stimme zu' is neutral and works with both colleagues and friends, but in very informal chats you might simply say 'genau' or 'stimmt'.
