Date

The word date can mean:

• A date is a day on a calendar. It is now 14:01 (UTC) Saturday, March 22, 2025. That means that today's date is March 22, 2025.
• 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.
