To be on the same page Good afternoon to everyone, I would like to know what is the equivalent of "being on the same page" in Italian... For example: "I just would like to make sure that we are on the same page to avoid any misunderstanding." I am interested to know whether there are any slang or informal ways to say this... Your answers are, as always, greatly appreciated! Wishing an amazing day to everyone!!! Aida N.

Gli esempi di Rossella sono tutti validi. Il verbo capirsi è il più utilizzato nel linguaggio parlato. Es: Voglio semplicemente accertarmi che ci stiamo capendo/che ci capiamo, onde evitare/per evitare fraintendimenti.

afaik /To be on the same page/ does not necessarily imply intimacy or friendship, just some kind of complete agreement in motivations and actions over a specific matter. No jargon expressions, just plain and clear talk: Here are some possibilities: 1. Ho la certezza che su questo punto ci siamo intesi [bene] ? (here [bene] is optional) 2. Siamo tutti d'accordo su questo {punto,aspetto,fatto}, me lo confermate? 3. Mi date conferma che ci siamo capiti bene e che siamo anche d'accordo? Why? I would say that /intendersi/ extends the meaning of /reciprocal understanding/ adding the quality of /agreement/. So, if you use /intendersi/, you could drop the specification /bene/, from (1) and you could drop the last part of (3) only if using pauses, appropriate emphasizing tone, and clearly looking in the eyes at least some of your listeners.

"To be on the same page" can be translated in Italian literally with "ci capiamo" (we understand each other) or "vogliamo le stesse cose" (we want the same things) . If you want to use an Italian expression, you can say "siamo sulla stessa lunghezza d'onda" or "siamo sulla stessa frequenza " . :)
