<김교포 & 로라's tip>

* Next time? '음.. 다음에?'

May be next time. Rain check? (정중한 느낌 추가)

* (Can I take a) rain check?

 

* Maybe another[some other] time? 상대방이 희망을 너무 가지지 않게 하는 느낌.

* Maybe some other time? 더 가능성이 없는 느낌.

 

* I'd love to, but... 정중히 거절하는 표현.

I'd love to, but I really can't tonight.

 

<Today's Situation>

A: Do you want to grab a beer?

B: Oh, I'd love to, but I really can't tonight.

A: Ah, I see. Maybe some other time then.

B: Yeah, For sure! I'll be down next time! 다음엔 진짜 콜~

 

<Pattern & Expression Practice>

Wanna catch a movie? - I'm swamped with work. Maybe next time?

Wanna go chat over coffee sometime? - Thanks, but maybe some other time.

I'd love to, but I'm on a diet these days.

 

Milkshake at Denny's? It's on me! - Maybe another time. I already have plans today.

I'm headed your way. You need a ride? - No, thanks. Maybe next time.

Hey, I'd love to chat more, but I gotta head out.

 

<Bonus Synonymous Native Expressions>

I don't want to be a burden.

I'm afraid I can't. Thank you for inviting me, though.

I'm sorry. I got somewhere to be.

That sounds fun, but unfortunately, I don't think I could go.
