Explication
Full agreement: totalmente, tal cual, eso mismo, ni hablar (emphatic yes in the Southern Cone). Partial: en parte sí, puede ser, hasta cierto punto.
Polite disagreement cushions first: entiendo tu punto, pero...; sí, pero fijate que...; no sé si tanto. Blunt no tenés razón is rare; depende and yo lo veo distinto do the work.
Disagreement is almost always cushioned first: open with entiendo tu punto, pero… or sí, pero fijate que… rather than a flat no tenés razón, which sounds harsh. Depende and yo lo veo distinto are the workhorses for stepping back without confrontation.
