German colleague's "we'll talk about this later", means:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When someone says 'we'll talk about this later' in a German-colleague context, it often signals a plan to revisit the topic at a future time rather than addressing it immediately.
Option a: 'A scheduling for a future discussion' fits this interpretation, since the phrase implies postponement and setting a later time to discuss.
Option b: 'Agreement to the proposal' would require explicit acceptance or approval, which the phrase does not convey; postponing does not equal agreement.
Option c: 'Please stop talking about this' would be a dismissive or shutting-down signal, which is not what 'we'll talk about this later' expresses.
Option d: 'A polite refusal' would indicate a rejection, whereas delaying the discussion keeps the door open for future conversation, not a closed stance.
In sum, the statement most closely aligns with planning to revisit the topic at a later time rather than confirming agreement, ending the discussion, or declining it outright.
