To reach an agreement or understanding.
Contexto cultural
The concept of 'Sutarimas' is central to Lithuanian identity, even appearing in ancient polyphonic songs called 'Sutartinės'. Finding a common language is seen as a moral achievement. In Lithuanian business, 'finding a common language' often happens over a long lunch or a coffee break, rather than just in the meeting room. Personal connection is key. Lithuanian diplomats often use this phrase to describe Lithuania's role as a bridge between Eastern and Western Europe. There is a strong cultural emphasis on respecting elders, so 'finding a common language' with grandparents is a common theme in family discussions.
