Well, it's Friday - time to shut down the computers, take down the “Open for Business” sign, and spend some downtime with our friends!
SOCIALIZE 打ち解けて付き合う、仲良く交際する
- To socialize with someone, such as friends or co-workers, is to spend time with them for pleasure.
- socialize とは、友人や同僚などと楽しむために一緒に過ごす、つまり、打ち解けて付き合う、という意味です。
- I was so busy socializing in college that I had very little time to study, but I don't regret a moment of it!
- (supervisor to employees chatting at the coffee machine)
Let's spend a little less time socializing and more time getting work done, shall we? - I really miss the camaraderie at my old office. We all used to socialize after work together almost every night.
- I heard that sales reps in Japan are often expected to socialize with clients until late at night. Is that really true?
We hope it's a good weekend for you. See you again on Monday!
