Make an appointment
Ask for a time and say when you are available.
A useful opening is Ich möchte einen Termin vereinbaren. It means “I’d like to make an appointment.” You can use it on the phone or in person.
- Haben Sie am Dienstag einen Termin frei? — Do you have an appointment available on Tuesday?
- Am Vormittag habe ich Zeit. — I’m available in the morning.
- Kann ich den Termin verschieben? — Can I reschedule the appointment?
Use Sie for a polite conversation with someone you do not know. If you miss a detail, ask Können Sie das bitte wiederholen? (“Could you repeat that, please?”).
