Cách sử dụng
The expression "hold your peace/tongue" is often used when someone is about to say something but is asked to stop or not say it. It means to stay quiet and not speak, even if you want to say something. It is typically used in situations where it is important to avoid causing trouble or conflict. For example, during a wedding ceremony, the officiant might say "if anyone has any objections, speak now or hold your peace." In this context, it means that if you have any reason why the couple should not be wed, speak up now or forever hold your peace, meaning you cannot bring it up again in the future.
