How to say "agreement" in Japanese

• 一致いっちJLPT N3approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, intransitive verbCovers agreement as accord or correspondence: when opinions, accounts, or findings match or are consistent. Think of views coming into accord, not of a promise or contract.

  The fingerprints left on the weapon correspond with the suspect's.
• 契約けいやくJLPT N3approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe agreement that is a contract: a formal, binding arrangement between parties, the sense used in business and legal contexts. If English 'agreement' could be replaced by 'contract', this is the word.
  契約けいやくはかなりいいかげんなものだった。↗

  The contract was rather loose.
• 約束やくそくJLPT N4approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbAgreement as a promise or arrangement between people: giving one's word or fixing plans together. When English 'agreement' means a promise rather than a contract, this is the natural choice.

  You should do your best to carry out your promises.
• 納得なっとくJLPT N3approx.Common
  noun, suru verb, transitive verb, intransitive verbAgreement as acceptance: being convinced that an explanation, decision, or outcome is reasonable. It points to inner assent rather than a mutual accord or promise.

  noun, suru verb, intransitive verbAgreement as consent or assent: saying yes to a proposal, request, or opinion. Use it when someone agrees with or approves what another person proposes.
