Definition
A marco is an important event, stage, or achievement that marks progress or change. It is often used for major moments in history, projects, careers, or personal life.
Usage & Nuances
Usually used in formal or neutral contexts, especially in business, education, history, and planning. Common combinations include 'an important marco', 'reach a marco', and 'a marco in development'. It is close to 'milestone', but much less common in English, so learners will more often see 'milestone'.
