🗓 Making an appointment

Unit 4 · Working & living in Egypt · 8 min

Appointments: هَلْ أَنْتَ مُتَاحٌ غَدًا؟ "Are you available tomorrow?" نَلْتَقِي السَّاعَةَ الثَّانِيَة "Let's meet at two." Late: آسِف، تَأَخَّرْتُ "Sorry, I'm late."

Words in this lesson

• مَوْعِد (mawʿid) — appointment
• اليَوْم (al-yawm) — today
• غَدًا (ghadan) — tomorrow
• أَمْس (ams) — yesterday
• مُتَاح (mutāḥ) — available
• تَأَخَّرْتُ (ta’akhkhartu) — I am late

Egyptians say إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّه when promising something in the future.
