Question

suppose u're at a party and u want to talk privately for a moment to someone who's standing in a group wd other people. wat do u say to take that person away for a moment? i came across"can i borrow him/her for a moment" is it correct?

Answer 1

It's fine as long as you keep a polite tone of voice and it might be easier to say it when there is a not a lot of talking going on or when it slows down. You may want to say "may" instead of a "can" though.  

Answer 2

Depending on the importance it's handled different.  

Answer 3

~~I would just ask the person if you can talk in private for a moment when he/she has time.~~

Answer 4

Say  "Excuse me" to the whole group. Then say "Can I speak to you for a quick second?", to the person you want to talk with. Motioning him or her away from the group.

Answer 5

Yeah, that works, or if you're speaking directly to the person, "Can I see you in the kitchen?"

Answer 6

Excuse me, may I speak to you in private for a moment.

Answer 7

yep that's a good one.

"can i speak to you privately for just a minute?"

Answer 8

That was not a bad way to get the person in question aside. It's much easier if you wait for a lull in the conversation before doing so. Then just quietly ask them for a moment of their time. Hope I helped.
