sich telefonisch verabreden
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase combines the reflexive weak verb 'sich verabreden' (to make an appointment / arrange a meeting) with the modal adverb 'telefonisch' (by telephone). It commonly takes the preposition 'mit' + dative to indicate with whom the meeting is arranged, and 'für' or 'zu' to specify the time or purpose.
