What it means...

To agree with someone or share the same opinion.

When two people see eye to eye, they think alike on a topic and don't have a disagreement.

It's used both positively — when people agree — and negatively when they don't.

Use it when…

  • When two colleagues reach agreement after a long discussion
  • When two people in a relationship realize they share the same values or goals
  • When you want to say that two people rarely or never agree on something
