Examples

Okay, we'll meet at midday.
?
Do you agree with me?
? - !
Shall we go? - Alright!
On its own, is a standalone "okay". Paired with être, ( ) is the standard way to say "to agree (with someone)" - a learner reaching for a verb that looks like "to accord" will often try to conjugate accorder here instead, but that verb means something else (to grant, to tune an instrument). Agreement itself is expressed with être d'accord, not with accorder.
