The other day I was at a party at work and told some students "I'm gonna go mingle" nobody knew what I was talking about so, here's a quick lesson about the verb:
to mingle
Have you heard this verb before? It is similar in meaning to mix but the most common usage these days is at parties or events when we want to say we will go around the room and talk to various people.
So the main meaning here is to move around and mix with a group of people. So it is a really useful word at parties.
Oh no, everyone is staying with their friends, no one is mingling~! This party is a disaster...
At business events, it is important to mingle to make new business contacts.
There's also a slightly different meaning with the phrasal verb:
to mingle in = to join a group and fit in
Bob's not really mingling in.
Meaning Bob is not fitting in with our group.
She mingled in to the department quickly!
Meaning she fit in quickly when she joined our department.
I hope you enjoyed this quick lesson, have a good weekend,
Phil
