Significado
Proposing to see someone.
Contexto cultural
The 'Agenda' is sacred. Spontaneous visits are rare; 'afspreken' weeks in advance is the norm. 'Gezelligheid' is the goal of most social 'afspraken'. It implies a warm, friendly atmosphere. Directness: When you 'afspreekt', the Dutch will be very direct about the time. If they say 8:00 PM, they mean 8:00 PM. Tikkie Culture: After you 'afspreekt' for a meal, expect to split the bill exactly.
Use 'Zullen we'
If you want to sound more polite and less like you're giving an order, use 'Zullen we afspreken?' instead of 'Laten we afspreken.'
Separable Verb Alert
Remember that in a main clause, 'af' goes to the very end. 'Ik spreek morgen af' is correct; 'Ik afspreek morgen' is wrong.
