"agree" is a strange word.

I got it !!!!!!!!
Only "Commendatory/Derogatory Word" as "agree/hate" is strange.
Because,
"Commendatory/Derogatory" enable sentences to mean "Positive" from "Negative".
Actually, just like in Chinese, for example:
--
Positive Sentence:
不能再同意了=同意得不能再同意了
不能再喜欢了＝喜欢得不能再喜欢了
不能再爱了＝爱得不能再爱了
不能再讨厌了 ＝ 讨厌的不能再讨厌了
"同意/喜欢/爱" are "Commendatory", "讨厌"is "Derogatory".
--
Negative Sentence:
不能再拖延了
不能再吃了
不能再忍受了
不能再停留下去了
不能再耐烦了
"拖延/吃/忍受/停留/耐烦" are "Neutral Word "
???{:5_371:} 还有 i can't agree no more，
也是一个意思
