2. «Walk down the aisle» means to get married in a church. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/A/aisle/#m2)

### In the lessons

In everyday life: supermarket aisles are numbered and signs say what is in each one (bread, cleaning products); in planes, «aisle seat» is next to the passage and «window seat» next to the window. Safety: keep aisles clear of bags so nobody trips and people can leave quickly in an emergency; on planes stay in your seat when the seat belt sign is on. Phrases: aisle seat, down the aisle, aisle 5, rolling in the aisles (laughing very hard).

### Note

Spelling trap: the «s» is silent — said «ile», like «I'll». Homophones: aisle, I'll, isle (a small island) — all sound the same. Countable: aisles.
