>>>>Yes, I kno;, I mean versions of the English word that have their own separate word in Serbian. See, i was trying to figure the 4 different meanings of "engagement" but the page gives me no info, such as:

>>yeeee-ehhh, but there's still the sense of two elements coming together as one,so to speak. And I'd never use it to mean an appointment. I suppose the result of a successful interview is the engagement of the interviewee, but again, coupling with the company

Yes, and this appointment can similarly be referred to as a previous engagement, but you wouldn't say "I've got an engagement with someone": "appointment", "interview" (in this case), "date", "rendezvous", "triste", "meeting", etc.

People can be engaged in conversation at any of these events.
