Meaning and Usage
"一致" (いっち) means "agreement" or "matching" and is used when two or more things correspond exactly or when people share the same opinion or decision.
Common Contexts
It is often used in formal or business settings, such as agreements, contracts, or data verification. It can also describe opinions or ideas that are in harmony.
Collocations and Patterns
- 意見が一致する: opinions agree
- 内容が一致する: contents match
- 双方が一致する: both parties agree
Nuances
"一致" implies exact correspondence or complete agreement, not just partial or approximate. It is more formal than casual words like "合う" (あう).
Common Mistakes
Learners sometimes confuse "一致" with "合う" which can mean "to fit" or "to match" in a broader sense. Use "一致" when emphasizing exact agreement or conformity.
