معنی
Needing to discuss something before deciding.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Poldermodel' is the Dutch consensus-based policymaking. It means everyone must 'overleggen' until a compromise is found. While Flemish people also use 'overleggen', the culture is slightly more hierarchical than in the Netherlands, but consultation remains key. The 'Overlegcultuur' can lead to many meetings. If you work in the Netherlands, expect to hear this phrase several times a day.
The Power of 'Even'
Always include 'even'. It makes you sound like a native speaker and softens the delay.
Don't be afraid to use it
In some cultures, saying you need to ask someone else sounds weak. In the Netherlands, it sounds responsible.
