Significado
To schedule an appointment or get-together with someone.
Contexto cultural
Germans value 'Verbindlichkeit' (commitment). If you 'machen ein Treffen aus', it is often considered rude to cancel last minute without a very good reason. In Switzerland, punctuality is even more strictly observed. Scheduling a 'Treffen' usually involves picking a very specific time, often down to the minute. Austrians might use the word 'Stelldichein' for a romantic meeting, though it is very old-fashioned. 'Treffen ausmachen' remains the standard modern form. In German business, 'ein Treffen ausmachen' is common for internal team syncs, while 'Termin' is used for external clients.
The 'Mal' Trick
Add 'mal' to sound more natural: 'Lass uns mal {ein|n} Treffen ausmachen.' It makes you sound less like a robot and more like a local.
Separable Verb Alert
Always remember to kick the 'aus' to the end. 'Ich mache aus ein Treffen' is a classic beginner mistake.
