Significado
Asking for the schedule.
Contexto cultural
The 'Agenda' is a central part of Dutch life. Many people carry a physical or digital diary and will say 'Ik moet even in mijn agenda kijken' (I need to check my diary) before agreeing to anything, even a coffee. While Flemish people also use 'planning', they might more frequently use 'programma' or 'regeling' in informal contexts. The culture is slightly less 'agenda-driven' than in the North. In Dutch offices, 'de planning' is often a collaborative effort. Even a junior employee can ask 'Wat is de planning?' to a manager to ensure clarity and efficiency. Students use 'planning' to refer to their study schedules. A common phrase is 'Ik loop achter op mijn planning' (I'm behind on my schedule).
Use it to be polite
If you want to leave a party, ask 'Wat is de planning voor de rest van de avond?' to see if things are winding down.
Don't forget the 'de'
Saying 'Wat is planning?' sounds very broken. Always include the article.
