Signification
Suggesting a location change.
Contexte culturel
The Dutch value 'gezelligheid'. If a place isn't cozy, it's culturally acceptable to suggest moving immediately. Flemish speakers use this too, but might use 'ergens anders' slightly less frequently than 'op een ander' in informal speech. In Dutch offices, hierarchy is flat. An intern can suggest moving a meeting just as easily as a CEO. Moving to a second location ('second locationing') is a sign a date is going well in the Netherlands.
The 'Het' Secret
If you want to be more specific, replace 'het' with the activity: 'Zullen we ergens anders *praten*?'
Watch the Vibe
In a romantic setting, this can be a euphemism for 'Let's go to the bedroom'. Use with caution!
