New films are usually shown in movie theaters.

Used products

There has always been a market for second-hand products, and since the arrival of the Internet and its subsequent massification, various portals dedicated exclusively to this activity have emerged.

The term new is closely linked to consumerism and the supposed need that so many people feel to always have the latest, the most recent version of those products that large companies impose as essential to be part of today's society. This innocent adjective, which was conceived with the sole purpose of indicating that something had not been seen before, often adorns aggressive advertising campaigns for electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and televisions, in an attempt to detract from previous models .

new me

In figurative language, it is possible to say a new self referring to a series of fundamental changes and decisions in one's life, which have turned us into someone very different from who we used to be.

Also in a metaphorical way, you can use the first name behind the adjective to introduce yourself again to your environment: "I present to you the new Adrián."

The concept in programming

Finally, programming languages ​​often use the word new (the English equivalent of "new" ) to instantiate objects of a class.

In other words, when initializing or creating a variable that belongs to a particular class, you write its name followed by an equal sign (which in programming means assign ), and finally new and the name of the class (more correctly , of its constructor, since both must match) and two parentheses that enclose the parameters that you want to send, if that is what the function expects.
