Of or having to do with more than one nation.

Origin: From . Introduced in modern English by Jeremy Bentham in his [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/An%20Introduction%20to%20t… An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation], 1780. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
For parents

International means: Of or having to do with more than one nation.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

international means: Of or having to do with more than one nation.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
