☆ play along with　～と調子を合わせる

============================

If you play along with someone, it means that you
appear agree with what they are saying or what they
are planning, even though you are not sure if they
are right or not. Here are some examples of how to use it:

Don’t ask why, just play along with him!
I don’t really like her idea, but I’m going to play along with
her for now.
No! I’m not going to play along with you.
My mother always plays along with the strange conversations
started by my father!

Have you ever used this word? How?

See you,

誰かと調子を合わせるということは、相手の言っていることや相手のやろうとしていることに、実際はそれが良いかはっきりしなくても、賛成を示すということです。
ここに使い方の例を挙げましょう：

Don’t ask why, just play along with him!
(理由は考えずに、彼と調子を合わせたらいいんだよ)

I don’t really like her idea, but I’m going to play along with her for now.
(彼女の考えは気に入らないが、今は彼女に調子を合わせようと思う)

No! I’m not going to play along with you.
(嫌だね。あなたと調子を合せるなんて)

My mother always plays along with the strange conversations started by my father!
(母は、いつも父が始める妙な会話に調子を合わせている)
