Hello everyone!
The rainy season is going to start soon!
Here’s a useful phrase you can use: To take a rain check.
You can use this when someone invites you to do something but you are busy and have to reschedule for another time.
For example:
A: There’s a new apple café in Kobe!
B: Really? Do you know if their drinks taste good?
A: I don’t know, but since there’s always a long line, maybe it’s delicious!
B: Really?
A: Yes! Are you free tomorrow afternoon? We can try it for ourselves!
B: I’m sorry, I have a meeting tomorrow afternoon and I don’t know what time we’ll finish. Can we take a rain check until Friday afternoon?
A: Sure. See you then!
●日本語訳:『今回は遠慮します』や『また次の機会にでも』という意味になります。
