Date

The word date can mean:

  • A date is a day on a calendar. It is now 21:00 (UTC) Tuesday, May 7, 2024. That means that today's date is May 7, 2024.
  • A date is the fruit of the date palm.
  • When people talk about a date, they can also mean that they are meeting with another person — dating. That person might be their boyfriend or girlfriend. People might go out with their partner to have a meal, or they might go to entertain themselves.
