Cultural Tip
German speakers value clarity and directness. Asking 'Sind wir alle einig?' shows respect for every participant’s opinion and helps avoid misunderstandings. In formal settings you might add a polite preface like 'Darf ich fragen, …' or use the more formal 'Sie' if addressing a mixed audience of strangers.
