In reply to Henriette. Great example! That made me laugh. And great use of "out of" too.

I was talking to my next door neighbour the other day. Partly out of interest in her wellbeing but also because I was angling for some information about a vacancy at her work.

A waiter or waitress who caters to his or her customers with attention, agility, and sympathy is angling for a bigger tip.

In reply to Claudio. It is! You can say: "I admire people that know how to angle for what they want."

I admire people that know how angling for getting something honestly. I think it is a quality.

In reply to Rita.

Good example – maybe you can say, “…she would never have thought that he was angling for something for himself.”

In reply to Leon.

In the past tense, you can say: “We have angled for a subsidy” … meaning… you have done the things you need to get the subsidy. In the present tense, you can say, “We are angling for a subsidy from the province to host an exposition about the Neder Gemaanse Limes UNESCO heritage site in our museum.”
