all people fully agree

When all people in a group agree and no one says no.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: [group] be unanimous in/about [something]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
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.

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.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
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.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: [decision/vote/verdict] be unanimous
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
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.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
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.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
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.)
