Hello,

is this expression, in a sense of "we can still discuss this/negotiate about this", correct?

Thanks and regards.

Hello Eva, Normally you would say "We can still discuss this". That is correct; but "Negotiate this" is better English than "Negotiate about this". Negotiate is the verb and this is the noun.

To use the word "about" in the sentence, you could say "We are about to negotiate

Hi, guys,

I suggest the use of 'open to further discussion/negotiations'. An agreement means you have finished negotiating.

Best wishes, Clive
