A friendly way to say "let us speak briefly".
Direct answer
To touch base is to make brief contact to share updates or check in. For example, "Let us touch base on Friday" means "Let us have a short chat on Friday." You can say "check in" or "catch up" for the same idea.
Examples
- "I will touch base with the client tomorrow."
- "Can we touch base after the meeting?"
Plain alternatives
- Check in
- Catch up
- Have a quick chat
Tip
Add a purpose: "Let us touch base on Friday to confirm the launch date."
