Explanation
Ladder of firmness: capaz vaya ('I might go') → pienso ir → tengo pensado ir el viernes → voy a ir → quedamos en vernos a las ocho (it's set). Present tense covers scheduled plans: mañana viajo a Tarija.
Cultural hedges: si Dios quiere, primero Dios soften commitments; ahí vemos / lo coordinamos keep things open — pin down day and hour explicitly when it matters.
Examples
