It means conceding something in return for the other person making a concession too. This can apply to actual objects or a point of view.sfsnancy wrote:Would you like to tell me what's the phrase"trade off"mean.

Examples: I will concede that Hitler was an evil man if you concede that Stalin was evil too.
I will agree that a Ford make a better car than Jaguar if you agree that Jaguar is a prettier car.
I will forget the money you owe me if you forget the work you did for me.
get the idea?
