to get back
phrasal verbE
Respond to someone after a delay
- 1I'll get back to you with an answer soon.
- 2She hasn't gotten back to me yet.
When someone sends you a message or asks you something, but you do not answer right away, you can answer later. This means you contact them after some time has passed, not immediately. You reply to them after waiting for a little while.
People often say "I'll get back to you" in work emails when they need more time to find an answer or make a decision before replying.
