Answer 2

Hi eri-chan

It would be nice to know where you heard this word and from which country.

Just to throw a spanner into the works and talking about Spain, "quedarse con alguien" can have the following meanings,

To con somebody

To take the mickey out of somebody

To pull someone's leg

¿Te estás quedando conmigo? - Are you trying to kid me?

However, "quedar con alguien" can be used for "To meet somebody"

¿Quedamos con ella en la parada? - Shall we meet her at the bus stop?

indeed! ;) - 00494d19, Jul 18, 2010

Answer 3

Wait can someone elaborate on the "to agree with someone" meaning? Is it like this: Quedo con Maria = I agree with Maria. and Me quedo con Maria = I will remain with Maria. Thanks.

Answer 4

I always thought it meant "to meet someone" (used mainly in Spain) eg.

Quiere quedar conmigo - He/she want to meet me.

Quiere quedarse conmigo - He/she want to stay with me.

.....but after reading the previous relies I'm having doubts.

Can someone check this please?
