engagement is such a versatile word like it kinda has the same general meaning regardless of context, but imagine being trulova in an activity or conversation idk why thats funny to me but i feel like english words usually are so specific, theres a word to describe every little nuance, but then the word for being engaged in smn and with someone is the same as if that isnt the biggest difference ever
made me think about being married (gift) in Norwegian
gift = married
gift = poison\toxin
giftig = poisionus\toxic
i think the all comes from the same norse root actually, smn about gifts/giving, so gift (gave) became gift (poison) somehow
