accordo

agreement

noun ahk-KOR-doh Common

Origin: Medieval Latin accordare (to harmonise)

Also means

deal

Usage Note

Accordo is used in several fixed phrases: essere d'accordo = to agree (sono d'accordo con te = I agree with you); mettersi d'accordo = to reach an agreement; andare d'accordo = to get along. In music, accordo also means 'chord.' Learners should note that 'to agree' in Italian is expressed with the phrase essere d'accordo, not a single verb.

Examples

"Siamo d'accordo su tutto."

Natural Translation

We agree on everything.

Literal Translation

We-are of-agreement on everything
