意味
Postponing an event.
文化的背景
The 'Soft No': Swedes often use this phrase to avoid saying 'no' directly, which can be seen as confrontational. In Swedish offices, 'en annan gång' is a respectful way to guard your 'focus time' without offending colleagues. Fika is sacred, but so is the right to say no. This phrase is the standard 'exit' from a fika invitation. In the early stages of dating, this phrase can be ambiguous. It requires reading between the lines to know if there's genuine interest.
The 'Gärna' Trick
Always add 'Gärna' (gladly) before 'en annan gång' if you actually like the person. It makes the refusal much warmer.
Don't over-use
If you say this to the same person three times in a row, they will take the hint that you don't want to meet.

よくある質問
4 問No, it is actually considered very polite in Sweden as it avoids a direct 'no'.
Yes, but 'vid ett annat tillfälle' is slightly more professional for formal emails.
'En annan gång' is indefinite (some time), while 'nästa gång' implies the very next opportunity in a series.
Because 'gång' is an 'en-word'. Adjectives must match the gender of the noun.
