达成广泛共识

达成共识 (Dáchéng gòngshí) refers to a shared understanding or mental agreement among people. 达成协议 (Dáchéng xiéyì) is more formal and usually refers to a specific, often written, legal or business contract.

Technically, you can, but it sounds very strange. The word 广泛 (broad) implies a wide range of people or groups, so it is best used for three or more people, or large entities like companies and countries.

Yes, it is quite formal. If you use it with friends to decide on dinner, it will sound like you are mimicking a news reporter, which can be funny but is not 'natural' for serious daily talk.

No, it does not. 广泛 means 'broad' or 'wide-ranging.' It implies that the vast majority agree, but there might still be some small dissenting voices or minor differences in opinion.

The most common and correct verb is 达成 (dáchéng). You might also see 凝聚 (níngjù) meaning to 'solidify' or 'build' a consensus, often used in political or community building contexts.

Yes, you can say '得到广泛共识' (obtained broad consensus) or '形成广泛共识' (formed broad consensus). However, '达成' is the most active and common way to describe the result of a negotiation.

In casual speech, people might just say '说好了' (Shuō hǎo le) or '大家都没意见了' (Dàjiā dōu méi yìjiàn le). These are much more common in a living room or a group chat.

Adding 广泛 emphasizes that the agreement wasn't just between a few people in a corner. It gives weight to the decision, suggesting it has legitimacy and wide support across different groups.

Simply add '未' (wèi) or '没有' (méiyǒu) before the verb. For example, '双方未能达成广泛共识' means 'The two sides failed to reach a broad consensus,' a common phrase in news.

Yes, scientists often use it to describe a theory that most experts in the field accept. For example, '学界对气候变化已达成广泛共识' (The academic community has reached a broad consensus on climate change).

意见 (yìjiàn) is just an 'opinion' or 'view,' which can be different for everyone. 共识 is the result when all those different '意见' are brought together into one shared view.

Absolutely! This is a high-level (B2/C1) expression that will gain you points in the writing or speaking section because it shows you can handle professional and formal Chinese.

Mostly, yes. You usually follow the pattern: [Group/Subject] + [达成] + [广泛] + [共识]. Changing the order makes the sentence sound unnatural or grammatically incorrect.

Not necessarily, but it usually implies there was a period of discussion or a need for alignment. It’s the conclusion of a process rather than an immediate reaction.

The opposite would be 产生严重分歧 (chǎnshēng yánzhòng fēnqí), which means 'serious differences emerged' or 'a major split in opinion occurred.'

Not really. Common sense is usually 常识 (chángshí). 共识 (gòngshí) is specifically 'consensus'—an agreement reached between people, not just general knowledge.

It is much more common in written Chinese (emails, reports, news). In spoken Chinese, it's mostly reserved for meetings, speeches, or very serious discussions.

Yes, you can say something 'has become a consensus.' For example, '环保已经成为广泛共识' (Environmental protection has already become a broad consensus).

Generally, yes, as it implies cooperation. However, in a cynical context, it can imply that people are just following the crowd, but that depends entirely on the speaker's tone.

Focus on the three parts: 'Achieve' (达成), 'Wide' (广泛), 'Shared view' (共识). Remember the 'da' and 'gong' sounds to help you trigger the memory of the characters.
