- Quedamos a las ocho.Use this to propose or confirm the plan itself, not just as a parting phrase.
Ways to get it wrong
Using 'ver' instead of 'verse'
You need the reflexive 'verse' (to see each other) here, not just 'ver' (to see).
Forgetting 'las'
Always use 'las' before telling the hour, as in 'las ocho' (the eight).
A small cultural note
In many Spanish-speaking countries, 'ocho' can refer to 8 AM or 8 PM. Context or adding 'de la mañana' (AM) or 'de la noche' (PM) usually clarifies.
