"Hanging out" refers to spending time with friends or acquaintances in a relaxed and informal setting. This can involve various activities such as chatting, playing games, or simply enjoying each other's company. The focus is on socializing without any specific agenda or pressure. Common places for hanging out include parks, cafes, or homes. It often fosters friendships and strengthens social bonds. People may also use technology, like social media or video calls, to hang out virtually, especially when in-person meetings are not possible.
