Significado
Proposing a compromise or deal.
Contexto cultural
The 'verbal agreement' (договорённость) is often considered more binding among friends than a written note. Breaking a 'договорённость' can seriously damage a friendship. In Russian business, 'договориться' can sometimes imply finding a 'flexible' way around a rule, though this is changing in modern corporate environments. At traditional markets (рынки), not trying to 'договориться' about the price is sometimes seen as a lack of interest in the product. Younger generations use 'Договорились' or simply 'Ок' / 'Лады' to close a deal, often via Telegram or WhatsApp.
The 'Colon' Rule
In writing, always use a colon after the phrase if you are about to list the terms of the deal.
Watch the '-ся'
Forgetting the '-ся' at the end is the most common mistake. It makes the verb reflexive, which is essential here.
