Bedeutung
To have a harmonious and peaceful relationship without any conflicts.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The ideal of 'armonia familiare' is central. This phrase is often used by elders to praise younger couples who represent this ideal. Spinning was a social activity in Italian 'veglie' (evening gatherings). Harmony among the women was essential for the work and the community. In Italian talk shows and gossip columns, this phrase is frequently used to describe the 'honeymoon phase' of celebrity relationships. Italians value personal relationships in business. Saying partners 'filano d'amore e d'accordo' is a strong indicator of a stable company.
Use it for teams
Don't limit this to romance. It's a great way to describe a high-performing team in a job interview.
Watch the 'd''
Forgetting the apostrophes (d'amore, d'accordo) is the most common written error.
