Are we all in agreement on the destination?
'Accordo' = ac-COR-do, stress on second syllable. 'Destinazione' = de-sti-na-ZIO-ne.
Use this in a group planning context to check for consensus before moving forward. Italian group decisions often involve long discussions — this phrase politely moves the group toward a conclusion. It acknowledges that everyone's opinion matters.
'Essere d'accordo' (to be in agreement) — 'd'accordo' is from 'di accordo' contracted. 'D'accordo!' as an exclamation means 'agreed!' or 'OK!'. The question form 'sei d'accordo?' = 'do you agree?' is extremely common.
C'è ancora qualche obiezione?
Is there any remaining objection?
Checking for any outstanding disagreement
Votiamo a maggioranza?
Shall we vote by majority?
Democratic resolution for group disagreements
Propongo di decidere entro stasera.
I propose we decide by tonight.
Setting a deadline for the group decision
Italian group decisions can be elaborate democratic processes — or passionate arguments that somehow resolve at the last minute. The 'agriturismo' (farm stay) is an iconic Italian holiday accommodation — farm buildings converted to host guests, offering local food, wine, and rural tranquillity. Italy has over 23,000 agriturismi registered across the country.
