✦Grammar Breakdown
Èchiaropertutti?
È (verb essere)
Third‑person singular present of 'essere' used as a copula; it agrees with the subject (implicit 'it' or 'the matter').
chiaro (adjective)
Means 'clear' or 'obvious'; stays masculine singular because it refers to an implied masculine noun like 'il punto' or 'il concetto'.
per (preposition)
Introduces the beneficiary or the group for whom something is clear; here it means 'for'.
tutti (indefinite pronoun)
Plural masculine (or mixed) meaning 'everyone'; used after 'per' to include the whole audience.

✕Common Mistakes
È chiaro a tutti?
The preposition 'a' is used with verbs like 'essere chiaro a qualcuno' (it is clear to someone), but when you ask a group you normally use 'per tutti'.
È chiara per tutti?
The adjective must stay masculine singular because it refers to an implicit masculine noun (il punto, il concetto).
È chiaro tutto per tutti?
Adding 'tutto' before 'chiaro' changes the structure; while 'È tutto chiaro?' is correct, mixing both ('È chiaro tutto per tutti?') is ungrammatical.

Cultural Tip
In Italian conversation, checking comprehension is a sign of respect and inclusivity. Using the plural 'tutti' signals that you consider the whole group, not just a single person. In more formal settings you might prefer 'È chiaro per tutti?' while in casual speech 'Tutto chiaro?' is common. Avoid mixing the preposition: the correct form is 'per tutti', not 'a tutti' when you ask about clarity.
