How to Say ‘Where should we meet?’ in French

On se retrouve où ?

on suh ruh-TROOV OO

[on suh ruh-TROOV OO]

💬 Usage Tip: In casual French, on is the normal way to say "we", even though the verb looks like the one for "he" or "she". So it's on se retrouve, not nous nous retrouvons, among friends.
