뜻
To harmonize opinions or plans.
문화적 배경
In Italy, 'mettersi d'accordo' often happens over coffee or lunch rather than just in a boardroom. The personal connection is a prerequisite for the agreement. Haggling (mercanteggiare) is a social art form. 'Mettiamoci d'accordo' is the signal that the buyer is serious and the real negotiation has begun. Italian families are often large and vocal. 'Mettersi d'accordo' is the essential phrase used by matriarchs to stop arguments and force a decision on Sunday lunch menus. Due to the slow pace of the Italian court system, there is a strong cultural push to 'mettersi d'accordo' (settle) outside of court.
