It's basically a rendition of "Love At First Sight" where, in Breaking Dawns case, Jacob sees the girl he wants to spend his life with. It doesn't necessarily mean in a sexual way. It could mean in a older brother way, fatherly way, best friend way, ect.
Whichever way the person the werewolf imprinted on wants in the werewolf, he will be.
(Ex. a werewolf imprinted on you, but you don't want him as a partner, so he would be your friend, or brotherly figure.)
This is were a werewolf meets a girl and they have a attraction to her that cant be broken as it is so strong, this can take form as a guardian of a small child to the love of a girlfriend and marriage :) Hope that helped .............................................................................................................. In Jacobs case he inprints on Reneseme (Nessie) .So if he had to choose between Ness or his tribe he would pick Ness, It took me awhile to relise what inprinting was Bahahaha XP I'm a Twilight person(Twi-Hard, Fanpire) ................................................................................................................. (same person as first answer) I also had difficulties trying to figure out what imprinting was but after re-reading i understood :D come one Twerds(Twilight nerds) and fanpires
Imprinting in the Twilight series is a very unusual form of attraction. It's like meeting your soul mate and when one of the "Wolves" sees a certain woman, the woman destiny has chosen, they are immediately bound to her for life. It's a way of making sure the pack survives. It might be that the wolves are attracted to someone who will give them the best chance of reproducing strong children. It's an unbreakable bond.
The member of the pack who is bound cares about the wants and needs of his mate. For example, Jacob becomes bound to Renesmee, but doesn't think of her as a girlfriend or wife, but as a child. Her needs and wants are more important to him than his own. No one in the pack can hurt or kill the person another pack memember is bound to. Since the pack is connected and they feel each other's pain, the pack would not be able to stand the torment such an incident would cause.

Assuming that you mean imprint, as in the imprinting in the Twilight saga, and assuming you are asking if humans in the Twilight saga imprint, then the answer is no. Imprinting in the Twilight saga is werewolves-only. However, some people in the real world do believe in the whole "Love at first sight" thing. Many people do fall in love at the first sight of people. It's really up to you, if you believe in love at first sight, then yes humans do imprint in a way. If you don't believe in love at first sight, then no they don't imprint at all.
I think you might have Twilight and the Hunger Games mixed up...
In the 'Twilight' series of books by Stephanie Meyer, the werewolves imprint upon humans. What this 'imprinting' means is that it is basically just falling passionately, intensely and madly in love with whoever it is that they choose to imprint with. For example, in the 'New Moon' novel, Sam Uley, the leader of the werewolf pack, imprints upon Emily. Upon imprinting on the young woman, he loses interest in all other women, and Emily becomes like the centre of his universe. Imprinting works both ways, though, meaning that Emily will love Sam just as strongly as he loves her. Edward Cullen describes imprinting as nearly the way that he feels about Bella Swan - true love. But imprinting does not always necessarily mean LOVE (as in romantic love). Imprinting means that they will become, for you, whatever you need. If you need a friend, they are your very best friend. If you need a brother/sister, that is what they become for you.
Twilight number? What does that mean. If you mean how many books there are, there's 4.

No, the concept of imprinting as depicted in the Twilight book series is a fictional creation by the author, Stephenie Meyer. It is not based on any actual Quileute legend or belief.
New Moon, the second book in the Twilight series.
Twilight imprinting, as portrayed in the Twilight Saga, is shown as a natural and unexplainable phenomenon that creates a deep bond between individuals. Some advantages could include an unbreakable connection, a sense of completeness, and a profound understanding of each other's needs and desires. However, imprinting also raises ethical and moral questions in terms of consent and autonomy.
In "Twilight," imprinting is a supernatural occurrence in which a werewolf finds their soulmate or perfect match. Once a werewolf imprints on someone, they feel a deep and unbreakable connection with that person. Imprinting can happen with anyone, regardless of age or previous relationships.

In the Twilight series, Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee, a vampire-human hybrid baby, is explained as a supernatural and involuntary bond that can occur with those destined to be soulmates. Despite Renesmee's vampire nature, Jacob's imprinting is focused on her future self, when she will reach maturity and be able to reciprocate his feelings.
I believe you mean 'Twilight RP'? If so, it stands for 'role play', where people act out canon or original characters of Twilight series. Fun stuff :D
