Bedeutung
Scheduling a medical consultation.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'ραντεβού' system in public hospitals can be slow. Many Greeks use the '14884' phone line or the 'findoctor' platforms to find quicker private appointments. It is common to ask a doctor if they are 'συμβεβλημένοι με τον ΕΟΠΥΥ' (contracted with the national health provider) when booking, to know if you will pay. Punctuality is flexible. If your appointment is at 10:00, you might not see the doctor until 10:30. This is called 'Greek time'. In Cyprus, the GESY (General Healthcare System) has changed how people 'κλείνουν ραντεβού', making it more centralized through an online portal.
Use 'Θα ήθελα'
When calling a clinic, start with 'Θα ήθελα να κλείσω...' (I would like to book...) to sound more polite than 'Θέλω...' (I want...).
Don't decline 'ραντεβού'
Never say 'ραντεβούα' or 'ραντεβούς'. It is a loanword and stays exactly the same in plural and singular.

The 'Secretary' Factor
In Greece, the secretary often decides how fast you get in. Being extra polite when you 'κλείνεις ραντεβού' can sometimes get you an earlier slot!
