d'accordo

As an interjection, d'accordo is used to signal consent or to say 'okay' in response to a suggestion.
Meaning: interjection that expresses agreement (intj)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase d'accordo is a contraction of di, meaning 'of' and accordo, meaning 'agreement'. Literally, it means 'of agreement'.
Which one should you use?
While d'accordo means being in agreement with someone, it is not used as a past participle to mean 'the agreement was reached'. In that specific context, you would instead say l'accordo è stato raggiunto.
How does it change in a sentence?
To express the verb 'to agree', Italians use the construction essere d'accordo, which literally means 'to be of agreement'.
Did you know?
- The word accordo is related to the Italian word for 'harmony', implying that being in agreement is a state of sounding together.
- Depending on the tone of voice, d'accordo can be used as a rhetorical question to express skepticism or annoyance rather than actual consent.
