concordancia

agreement

noun kohn-kohr-DAHN-syah Rare

Origin: From Latin concordantia, 'harmony.'

Also means

concord (grammar)

Usage Note

Concordancia covers two main domains: in grammar, it means agreement between words (concordancia de género y número — agreement in gender and number); in general use, it means correspondence or harmony between things. The grammar sense is especially important for Spanish learners, since Spanish requires noun-adjective and subject-verb agreement more strictly than English.

Examples

"La concordancia entre sujeto y verbo es esencial en español."

Natural Translation

Agreement between subject and verb is essential in Spanish.
