Another question about "There you go"
I have learned that "There you go" means "That's exactly what I mean" and "You've caught on" and so on, but some people do not agree that it means "I agree (with you)" and I am now confused that I think "That's exactly what I mean" means the same as "I agree". I do not know why they do not think so. Do you native English speakers think that there is a meaning difference between "That's exactly what I mean" and "I agree"? Or do "There you go" not mean "I agree"?
Thank you so much as usual and I hope to make it clear.

'Agree' is to another's opinion; 'exactly what I mean' indicates that the speaker himself has given the same opinion.

Firstly, "That's exactly what I mean" is the same as "I agree". Definitely. If there is a difference it's maybe that "That..." shows stronger agreement and support than "I agree" does. I suppose
And "There you go" is used when you want to
- encourage somebody in something/ to do something
- compliment
- show the same opinion

SicaFirstly, "That's exactly what I mean" is the same as "I agree".I do not agree, so there you go! See MrM's last post.

Is there any differences between "agree with other opinion" and "have the same opinion as other"?
I cannot find any.

Sica Is there any differences between "agree with other opinion" and "have the same opinion as other"?The question was not about that. It was about whether "I agree'"means the sames as "That's exactly what I mean".

MrM's statement: 'Agree' is to another's opinion; 'exactly what I mean' indicates that the speaker himself has given the same opinion.
It meant that I couldn't find any differences between them, so my answer is that they're the same, Mr Five.
=> Is there any differences between "agree with other opinion" and "have the same opinion as other"?

There is a difference between "agree with another's opinion" and "give the same opinion as other"—that is all I am saying. The first requires only a nod of the head and a simple 'Yes'; the latter requires a lengthier statement, at least.

Hi all,
sorry to barge in, but the way I understand "There you go":
You finally got my point
That's exactly what I mean
which both mean that the speaker is acknowledging the fact that his discussion partner is understanding but not necessarily agreeing with his point. I understand the expression rather as "neutral" in that context.

Wow, I did not know such complicated things in this issue and thank you so much again and then I fell into confusion again so "There you go" means "I agree" as well as "That is what I say"or not?
