From understood to precise
Simple English can already express the idea clearly. A useful expression gives you another natural way to say it when the meaning and tone fit.
We have not settled the date yet because we are waiting for the venue.
Draft · not sent
The date is still up in the air—we’re waiting to hear when the venue is available.
Sent
“Up in the air” means not yet decided or settled. An arrangement can exist while an important detail is still uncertain.
Start with the conversation in front of you. We'll surface only the expressions that fit.
Your situation
You and your friends want to organize a birthday celebration, but you are still waiting to hear which dates the venue has available. Someone asks when to keep the evening free.
How Lyra Practice works
