뜻
Suggesting to delay a task.
문화적 배경
Saying 'no' directly to an offer of food or drink is often seen as a slight. 'Daha sonra yapalım' or 'Daha sonra içelim' allows the guest to decline while acknowledging the host's kindness. In Turkish meetings, relationship building often takes precedence over the agenda. If a meeting is running long, 'Daha sonra yapalım' is used to move technical details to a later date to keep the current atmosphere positive. Younger Turks use 'Sonra hallederiz' as a cooler, more relaxed version of this phrase, reflecting a laid-back 'İstanbul' attitude. The phrase is a common 'negotiation' tool between spouses to avoid immediate conflict over chores.
Add 'mı?' for extra politeness
Saying 'Daha sonra yapalım mı?' turns the suggestion into a question, making it even softer.
Don't over-use it at work
If you say this too often to your boss, they might think you are avoiding work.

The 'Turkish No'
If someone says this to you about a vague plan, they might be politely saying 'no'. Don't push too hard.
Tone matters
A rising intonation at the end makes it sound like a friendly collaboration.
