🇰🇷 The Real Meaning Behind “Let’s Grab a Meal Sometime~” 🍽️ 📆

🙌 Nice to see you again!

Hi everyone~ 😊
How have you all been?
It’s been scorching hot in Korea lately due to a heatwave 😓🔥

In our last post, we talked about the Korean expression related to “Did you eat?”
And today, we’re back with another food-related phrase! 😁
(Yes, Koreans run on rice power 🍚)



🤔 Does it really mean we’re going to eat together?

If you have a Korean friend, you’ve probably heard them say,
“Let’s grab a meal sometime!” when saying goodbye.

But here’s the thing —
this doesn’t always mean you’re actually making plans to eat together.

It’s more like saying “Let’s keep in touch” in English —
a polite and friendly way to say goodbye.

So don’t be disappointed if no follow-up happens!
“Let’s grab a meal” is just a warm, friendly expression,
a way to wrap up the conversation politely 😊



💡 Korean Language Tip
