How+to+Make+Appointments

The trick to making appointments in Italian is being prepared for the questions and answers you'll hear. As long as you know Italian vocabulary for the //who//, //when//, and //where// of your appointment, you'll find that you can plug those words into the phrases below. The following phrases will come in handy when planning for an informal get together with friends and family. If you need to make a more formal appointment with business or doctor's office, you'll want to follow a slightly more formal structure. But don't worry. Just take your time and don't be afraid to ask the other person to slow down if you start to get lost. You can use the following phone conversation as a guideline for setting up formal appointments in Italian. > James: **Salve!** (Hello.) > Mr. Salvatore: **Buon giorno!** (Good day.) > James: **Si tratta di James dall'ambasciata. Vorrei pianificare una riunione****.** (This is James from the embassy. I would to schedule a meeting.) > Mr. Salvatore: **Certamente.** **Lei è disponibile domani mattina alle nove?** (Of course. Are you available tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.?) > James: **Mi dispiace, sono impegnato/a.** (I'm sorry, I'm busy.) > Mr. Salvatore's: **Lei è disponibile** **oggi****?** (Are you available today?) > James: **Sono disponibile questo pomeriggio****.** (I'm available this afternoon.) > Mr. Salvatore: **Diamoci appuntamento per le quindici****.** (Let's meet at 3:00.) > James: **Bene****.** (That'll be fine.) > Mr. Salvatore: **Ci vediamo allora****.** (We'll see you then.)
