La palabra de la semana en inglés: “compromise”

Como cada semana, vamos a aprender inglés con la academia Atlantic Group*, que nos propone una palabra relacionada con Malasaña para aumentar nuestro vocabulario en ese idioma:

compromise (noun): an agreement or a settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concession.

Compromise is one of those words we call a “false friend”. Its meaning in English is completely different from the very similar Spanish word compromiso

Estos días la podemos usar del siguiente modo:

Most things in life are not absolutely perfect. For instance, you generally have to compromise on something when choosing where to live. Maybe the price is a bit high or the apartment is a little small or it's a too noisy on weekends..... What compromises did you make when you chose Malasaña? What great things about our neighborhood made you willing to accept that compromise?
