Spanish term or phrase: Asamblea General Ordinaria Unánime
How would you translate *Unánime* in the following phrase?
*Asamblea General Ordinaria Unánime*
"Unanimous" sounds awkward (at least to me).
Frank Johnson
English translation:"Unanimous Ordinary General Meeting"
Explanation:
would be an acceptable English rendering. However, in the context of general meetings of shareholders (which come in two flavors: ordinary and extraordinary), your phrase may be referring to a unanimous DECISION made at or by the ordinary general meeting [of shareholders] -- such as, for instance, a decision to retain the current board of directors, to accept a proposed dividend distribution, etc. -- Hope this helps!

Sinónimos en español (diccionario de sinónimos y antónimos Grijalbo) - conforme, acorde, coincidente, espontáneo, genereal, voluntario.

In english (Webster's New World Dictionary and Thesaurus) - collective, combined, unified, untied, single, concerted, harmonious, concordant, concurent, public, popular, undivided, of one accord, agreed, common, communal, shared, universal, accepted, unquestioned, undisputed, uncontested.

I would use Unanimous.
Good Luck!
