Verb to confirm - opposite??

Hi.

It highly depends on the context.

I can think of deny, reject, refute, disregard, refuse, disprove, contradict, rebuff, negate, gainsay and many others.

Cheers

Thank you for the reply. In the sentence i wish to explain to confirm or not if i understood the mail correctly so i need the customer to confirm the points mentioned in my previous mail or not to confirm.

Can i say:

"confirm or not " ?

" confirm or specify differently" ??

Btw I think that deny, gainsay, disprove, contradict are ok for this sentence..

Dear Pamela

Hrsanei is right to say it depends on context. When it is a business phrase, I think we quite often just use a form of "not"..

- I can confirm I'll be in New York on the 25th

- I can't yet confirm that I'll be in New York on the 25th

In science, for example..

- Did Professor Jones confirm your hypothesis?

- No, he disproved it!

Hi

thanks for the help you gave.

Could you please make some examples for the use of : to gainsay, to rebuff and to refute? I did not heard about it never so i do not know the context in which they should be used..

Maybe i can try say to refute could be used to refuse an invitation?

Anyway i usually use the verb to confirm when i ask customer if he is satisfied w

Hi

This is not easy. (Partly, to be honest, because I'm not a salesman!)

On the one hand, you want to get the customer to agree the deal; on the other hand you don't want to put them in a corner where they say no

My best suggestion would be something like..

- Thank you for viewing our stand designs. Please would you confirm your order with us by email and we w

Thanks dear ..BUT:

I do not want to confirm the order, I want he to confirm (says) that the modifications made on the stand design are accordingly to their wish.

I usually write : " could you confirm or specify if you want to change something else?"

or

"could you confirm or not if the modifications are accordingly to your requests"

Is there something co

In your case I would not use confirm or not, sounds bad.

Whether is the better choice for me.

Could you confirm whether the modifications are according(don't think you need ly) to your requests?

Thanks for the reply.

BUT.. if I use WHETHER i also can simply use IF ??

am i right?

Yes.

Hi

in that case, I think there would usually be a separate document that says exactly the products that your company will supply and any extra modifications that you are going to do for the customer. As you may already know and say, this is the specification (or, if you are on friendly terms with your customer: "the spec" - that's slightly slangy)

And then I think you just say..
