Usage notes

  • Use 'accordo' for formal agreements (contracts, treaties). For casual agreements, 'patto' or 'intesa' may fit better.
  • Avoid confusing 'accordo' with 'accordare' (to agree/grant). The noun has no verb form here.
  • In music, 'accordo' is always singular for a chord. Plural 'accordi' refers to multiple chords or figurative agreements.
