🇬🇧🇪🇸 engagement - compromiso : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "engagement" ("compromiso"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
An engagement is a special promise between two people that they are going to get married in the future, but they are not married yet. They usually tell their families and friends, may give a shiny ring, and start planning the big wedding day.
Their engagement lasted a whole year, which is 365 days of everyone asking, “So when’s the wedding?”
The cat interrupted their engagement moment by sitting on the ring box and refusing to move for 20 minutes.
Their engagement story was so long that by the time they finished telling it, everyone was ready for the wedding and dessert.
He hid the engagement ring in a cupcake, then panicked when she almost swallowed their future.
In many places, an engagement is not a legal marriage yet—it’s like the ‘loading screen’ before the wedding game officially starts.
On the frost bench, he knelt, asked, and she said yes; their engagement began. The engagement sparkled on her finger; he had slid the ring and asked her to marry him. Neighbors saw the engagement news and clapped. At dinner they toasted the engagement, cheeks wet, hands tight. The streetlight held their new engagement like a small, warm story.
