Making Appointments in Italian
When dealing with health, wellness, and medical visits in Italy, knowing how to schedule or reschedule an appointment is essential. At a B1 level, you should be able to politely request times, ask about availability, and change plans.
Key Rules & Polite Forms
- Use the formal Lei (third-person singular) when speaking to receptionists, doctors, or wellness staff.
- Use modal verbs like vorrei (I would like) or posso (can I) to sound polite.
- Always specify the day or time clearly using prepositions like di, a, or per.
Common Examples
Vorrei prendere un appuntamento per domani.
I would like to make an appointment for tomorrow.
È possibile anticipare a lunedì?
Is it possible to bring it forward to Monday?
Common Mistakes
Avoid translating literally from English. Do not say 'fare un appuntamento'; Italians always use prendere un appuntamento (to take/make an appointment).
