Usage notes
- For mutual agreement, use convenire con qualcuno or convenire su qualcosa; don't use it like English "agree" without a preposition.
- As "to suit/be convenient," it is more formal than andare bene or essere comodo, common in everyday speech.
- In the sense "to gather/come together," it usually takes essere in compound tenses: sono convenuti alla riunione.
- present: convengo, convieni, conviene, conveniamo, convenite, convengono
- past participle convenuto
