The German word "einvernehmlich" is an adjective that means "mutual" or "by mutual consent". It is derived from the prefix "ein-", the noun "Vernehmen" which means "understanding" or "agreement," and the suffix "-lich" which is similar to "-ly" in English.

Similar words in German include:

  • "gemeinsam" (together)
  • "einstimmig" (unanimous)
  • "einhellig" (unanimous)

Differences:

  • "Gemeinsam" generally means "together" or "jointly" without necessarily implying mutual consent or agreement.
  • "Einstimmig" and "einhellig" both mean "unanimous," which implies complete agreement, often used in contexts like voting, whereas "einvernehmlich" specifically highlights the aspect of mutual consent or understanding among parties.
