✕Common Mistakes
Sind wir uns einig alle?
Placing ‘alle’ after ‘einig’ (e.g., ‘Sind wir uns einig alle?’) is ungrammatical; ‘alle’ must come before the adjective.
Sind wir alle einig?
Omitting the reflexive pronoun (e.g., ‘Sind wir alle einig?’) changes the meaning; the reflexive pronoun is required with ‘einig sein’.
Wir sind uns alle einig?
Using a statement order without inversion (‘Wir sind uns alle einig?’) is a statement, not a question. For a question, the verb must be first.

Cultural Tip
German speakers value clarity and directness in group settings. Asking ‘Sind wir uns alle einig?’ shows respect for every participant’s opinion and helps avoid misunderstandings. In very formal contexts you might add ‘bitte’ at the end: ‘Sind wir uns alle einig, bitte?’
