Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries *quedar* is the go‑to verb for arranging a meet‑up, even when the meeting is informal. Avoid using *encontrar* in this context, as it usually means “to find”. Also, note that the phrase is neutral in register; adding *por favor* or a smile can make it sound extra courteous.
