Good morning and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope your day is going well.
Today's phrasal verb is: to give in
Meaning: to stop competing, arguing or fighting because you know you cannot win.
Example 1: Whenever my brother and I fought as children, I always had to give in first because he was bigger and stronger than me.
Example 2: The negotiations are at a standstill (están paradas) but if we give in now, we'll never get what we are asking for.
