016 - 把...放在一边 - learn spoken Chinese

'把...放在一边' means it is not going to do sth. temporarily or not to consider it.
where the receiver acts as the subject, this pattern can be '...先放在一边'

examples:

- 你们把手头的事儿先放在一边,到大厅帮帮忙。
- You guys, please stop for a while and come to the hall to help.

- 下个星期春游的事儿准备怎么安排?
- 这个事儿恐怕得先放在一边了,公司现在有个重要的项目。
--->
- How are you going to arrange the spring short break next month?
- I'm afraid we have to postpone it. We have a very important project right now.
