meantime
Significado
mientras tanto, periodo intermedio, tiempo de espera, intervalo
"Meantime" se refiere al periodo que transcurre entre dos eventos o situaciones, a menudo utilizado para indicar que algo está ocurriendo o debe hacerse durante ese intervalo. En contextos más formales, puede implicar una pausa o un tiempo de espera antes de que se produzca un cambio significativo. La palabra sugiere una conexión temporal entre acciones, enfatizando que, aunque se está esperando algo, hay actividades o situaciones que continúan en ese "mientras tanto".
💡 While "meantime" is often used interchangeably with "meanwhile," it is important to note that "meantime" specifically emphasizes the duration of time rather than simultaneous actions.
