To arrange to see friends.
خلفية ثقافية
In Spain, 'quedar' often implies going for 'cañas' (small beers) or 'tapas'. It's very common to 'quedar' at a specific bar rather than at someone's house. While 'quedar' is used, 'verse' is extremely common. Also, 'ahorita' might be used when 'quedando', which can mean anything from 'in 5 minutes' to 'never'. Meeting for a 'mate' or an 'asado' is the ultimate way to 'quedar con amigos'. The 'previa' (pre-party) is a vital social ritual for younger generations. Socializing often revolves around family and close friends. 'Quedar' is used, but 'parchar' is a very popular slang term among youth for 'hanging out'.
The 'Plan' Verb
Think of 'quedar' as the 'planning' verb. If you are talking about the time or place you agreed on, 'quedar' is your best friend.
Reflexive Trap
Avoid 'me quedo' unless you are staying at home to watch Netflix!
