Small talk with coworkers: Talking about lunch plans in the break room

💬 mitkommen stays in one piece here because kann carries the action. Without kann, it splits and the mit moves to the end: Kommst du mit? "Are you coming along?"

💬 This comes from losgehen "to set off". When the verb splits, los moves to the end of the sentence. The same thing happens in Wann fährst du los? "When are you driving off?"

💬 halb eins literally means "half one", but it counts toward the next hour, so it's 12:30, not 1:30. In the same way, halb drei means 2:30.

💬 In German, the plan is what "fits" the person, so "you" appears as dir. The formal version is Passt Ihnen das?.

🇩🇪 English office words like Meeting, Call and Deadline are everyday German at work. A Meeting is grammatically neuter, so it's das Meeting.

💬 German usually puts the time before the thing: um zwei ein Meeting, not the other way around. The same order works in Ich habe morgen einen Termin "I have an appointment tomorrow".

💬 Put bis in front of any time word to say goodbye: bis morgen "see you tomorrow", bis später "see you later".

💬 This comes from abholen "to pick up". When the verb splits, ab moves to the end, after the person. Another example is Ich hole dich um eins ab "I'll pick you up at one".
