quedar

(citarse)

It doesn't always translate as to make arrangements to meet, though, it has that meaning. (where shall we meet or where shall we make arrangements (now) to meet)

"Mañana vamos a quedar en el Café a la 9" for "Tomorrow will meet at the Café at 9."

Is that right?

See you tomorrow...this is not an arranged date, actually , it does not mean that you are actually going to see the guy, so we use ver in this sense.

Te veo mañana.

However, if you are making a date.

Let's meet tomorrow. Vamos a quedar mañana.

Once the date is made:

Nos vemos a las ocho, quedamos a las ocho. (nos vemos is more idiomatic)

mañana quedamos...
mañana vamos a quedar...

Just two ways to say the same thing.

No, mañana quedamos : you are going to make a date to meet.

We'll see each other: mañana nos vemos

I agree, many times I've had the impression from various sources that 'quedar' means 'meet', not 'arrange to meet'. It's confusing, for example, look at this one from WordRef:

¿a qué hora/dónde quedamos? - what time/where shall we meet?

Here it appears to simply mean 'meet', not 'arrange to meet.'

Here, however, it's clearer: (to an English speaker)

quedé con unos amigos para cenar - I arranged to meet some friends for dinner

I think it could help me to remember that the meaning is the same as 'citarse'.

Am I right?

For me it's this way: Nos vemos manana en el cafe a las 9? Will I see you tomorrow at the cafe by 9?

Hmmm....I'm confused.

I say "Mañana vamos a quedar en el Café a la 9" for "Tomorrow will meet at the Café at 9."

Is that right?

Looks like... Tomorrow we will make arrangements to meet at 9 (a las 9) in the café. - 0074b507, Sep 16, 2011
