Connected to or available through the internet. It can describe people, services, activities, or information that you use on the internet.

Usage & Nuances

Very common in everyday English. Often used after verbs like 'be', 'go', 'buy', 'study', and 'meet': 'be online', 'buy online'. Don't confuse it with 'on the internet': both are correct, but 'online' is shorter and more common in many contexts.
