Can I say "be sure you are adapted to the idea" when I'm asking for someone's agreement or support?

Question

I want to know more about the word adapt. Is it good to use it to connect people and things?

For example, is it ok to say: I adapt to playing basketball?

Answer 1

Adapted to the idea - No. 'Be sure you are comfortable with the idea' is what I think you are looking for. 'Make sure' is perhaps more natural. @Jim's suggestion is good, if that's the way you meant it, as is @JefferyKemp's. 'Are you sure you are comfortable with this' is a likely expression, with 'are you on-board with this' being a bit more colloquial / American. Adapt definitely doesn't work in this context, and is more useful in the context of getting used to cold/altitude/isolation etc, not necessarily physical things but certainly more environmental than attitudinal. Playing baseball, not really; you improve at that, you learn [to do] it, but you don't really adapt to it.

Answer 2

you could say "be sure you have adopted the idea."

you can also say "i adopted basketball official rules" contrasting that before you played recklessly and now you have adapted to regulated play.

or "i adopted basketball as a hobby"

if on the basketball example you want to emphasize (biological) adaptation to basketball, you can say "i've evolved into a basketball player" or "i've developed a basketball body"
