Take the 2-minute tour ×  I was looking for an alternative to
"unanimous" and had found "concordant" in the thesaurus. What
would be the best way to use this word?  For example, in an
essay it would be okay to say "the texts had unanimously agreed
on how ". Would this be the same for "concordant", as in "the
texts had been concordant on how _".  Could any examples of the
word be listed below?  share|improve this question add comment
2 Answers  up vote 4 down vote accepted  "The texts were
concordant on the proper use of quotation marks."  "The movie's
opening-weekend gross was fairly concordant with box-office
returns for that genre." (example from merriam-webster.com)  I
would say "unanimous" means perfect, universal agreement, while
"concordant" means general compatibility of opinion or ideas
with perhaps some differences on specifics. Better synonyms for
concordant would be "harmonious" or "nonconflicting."
