all people fully agree
When all people in a group agree and no one says no.
Vzorec užití:
[group] be unanimous in/about [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "I am unanimous" when talking about a single person. "Unanimous" is normally used for a group of people, not an individual. Learners also sometimes confuse "unanimous" with "anonymous"; "unanimous" means everyone agrees, while "anonymous" means a person’s name is not known.
Synonyma
in complete agreement (A descriptive phrase; slightly more informal and explicit than "unanimous.")
|
of one mind (Idiomatic and a bit more literary; stresses shared thinking.)
|
united (Broader; can suggest emotional or political unity, not only agreement on a decision.)
Antonyma
divided (Emphasizes that the group does not agree and holds different opinions.)
|
split (Suggests the group is clearly separated into opposing sides.)

decision or vote with no opposition
When a decision, vote, or result is supported by every person, and no one says no.
Vzorec užití:
[decision/vote/verdict] be unanimous
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say "an unanimous" instead of "a unanimous"; because "unanimous" starts with a /j/ sound (like "you"), the correct article is "a," not "an." Another mistake is using "unanimous" for a simple majority decision; it should only be used when everyone agrees or supports the result.
Synonyma
fully agreed (Plain description; often used to explain the idea to non-specialists.)
|
unopposed (Focuses on the lack of any votes against, not necessarily on active support by everyone.)
|
collective (Highlights that the decision was made by the group as a whole, not that every single member agreed.)
Antonyma
contested (Suggests there was disagreement or opposition to the decision or vote.)
|
divided (Indicates the vote or decision had clear disagreement, with people on different sides.)
