Date

The word date can mean:

• A date is a day on a calendar. It is now Thursday, 2025 October 24, 08:47 (UTC). That means that today's date is May 2, 2025, or 2 May 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.
